Abstract EN
Evaluation of anthelmintic activity of any drug when carried out in laboratory conditions by using the isolated worms from nature cannot be adaptable with artificial laboratory conditions.
Therefore, the present study aims at developing a new adaptable method for evaluation of anthelmintic activity.
The present anthelmintic activity study reveals a new methodology with housefly worms cultured in laboratory conditions that resemble parasitic pinworms found in human being.
We studied the anthelmintic activities of various drugs on housefly worms and earthworms.
The results showed that the housefly worms had taken more time for paralysis and death.
Even after paralysis the time taken for death is more in housefly worms in spite of smaller size and lesser weight of the worms compared to earthworms.
The study concluded that the earthworms have not adapted to the artificial laboratory conditions leading to erratic results.
Therefore, culturing of housefly worms was carried out to evaluate the anthelmintic activity and found an easy, prominent, eco-friendly, and reproducible method in all aspects such as equal age, size, and weight of worms used for the experiment.
