Abstract
Keeping in view the traditional claim of use of leaf juice of khus grass as anthelmintic, the aqueous extract of leaves of Vetiveria zizanioides (Linn.) Nash was tested for anthelmintic activity against Indian earthworm (Pheretimaposthuma), roundworm (Ascaridia galli) and tapeworms (Raillietina spiralis). Various concentrations of extract were tested and results were expressed in terms of time for paralysis and time taken for death of worms and helminths. Dose dependent activity was observed in the aqueous extract thus may be useful as an anthelmintic.
