Anthelmintic effect of Xylopia aetiopica (XA), Aframomum melegueta (AM) and Khaya senegalensis (KS) on microfilariae (Mf) of Litomosoides sigmodontis. Mf (nā€‰=ā€‰75/well) of Litomosoides sigmodontis were cultured in absence of plant extracts (0ā€‰Ī¼g/ml, medium) or in presence of AM (green line), KS (blue line) and XA (red line) at different concentrations (200ā€‰Ī¼g/ml, 500ā€‰Ī¼g/ml and 1000ā€‰Ī¼g/ml). After 7ā€‰days culture, the viability of microfilariae were evaluated using typan blue. Graph shows the percentage of dead Mf for each concentration. The concentration that induced 50% of death was designed lethal dose 50 (LD50)
