Abstract:
The effect of eight chemicals; vinegar, Allium sativum (crude garlic), Acacia auriculiformis, lemon juice, praziquantel, pumpkin, perosan and yomesan on the viability of cysticerci of Taenia saginata in vitro was investigated. The minimum exposure time required for cysticerci to be non-evaginable for the eight chemicals were 5, 10, 25, 40, 55, 75, 90 and 105 minutes respectively. The best one was vinegar and the least effective was yomesan.
