Preclinical evaluation of Senna alata leaf extract against Hymenolepis diminuta: a promising natural anthelmintic solution

This study demonstrates the potent antiparasitic effects of S. alata against H. diminuta in a rodent model. The alcoholic leaf extract of S. alata, particularly at 1000 mg/kg, exhibits strong antiparasitic efficacy against H. diminuta, alongside notable improvements in host hematological and organ function parameters. Its non-toxic nature reinforces its potential as a safe, natural anthelmintic, warranting further exploration for therapeutic applications.
