Anthelmintic effects of Areca catechu L. (Arecaceae) and Piper betle L. (Piperaceae) combination on adult Haemonchus spp.: a scanning electron microscopy study

Abstract

The combination of A. catechu and P. betle methanolic extracts demonstrated significant anthelminthic properties against Haemonchus spp. The scanning electron microscopy images originally revealed distinct cuticular damage resulting from the exposure to the plant combined extract that likely contributed to worm mortality.
