Abstract

A bioassay method for estimating piperazine citrate and other vermicidal agents has been reported. Application of the bioassay method, based on the response of earthworms (Pheretima sp,) to the drugs in Ringer.Locke medium for rapid screening of anthelmintic substances has been demonstrated. Quantitative assessment of different plant drugs for their vermicidal potencies has been carried out and their relative efftcacies with reference to piperazine citrate have been studied. Piperazine coefficients of papaya seed, mustard seed, garlic and clove show that clove and garlic are superior to piperazine citrate with respect to vermicidal potency.
