Year: 2011
Type: preprint
Abstract: Phyto-extracts of Artemisia species (Asteraceae) are employed as natural biocides (anti-insects, anti-helminthes, and anti-biotics) from many centuries. The main aim of this review is to summarized the toxic effects of chemical extracts from Artemisia on Nematoda worms.
Toxic effects were reported for the following Nematoda genera of bio-medical interest: Ascaris (A. galli A. leonina, A. lumbricoides, A. suum), Bunostomum (B. trigonocephalum), Caenorhabditis (C. elegans), Chabertia (C. ovina), Dictyocaulus (D. filaria), Dirofilaria (D. immitis), Enterobius (E. vermicularis), Haemonchus (H. contortus), Heligmosomoides (H. polygyrus), Necator (N. americanus), Nematodirus, Oesophagostomum (O. columbianus), Protostrongylus, Strongyloides, Trichinella (T. spiralis), Trichostrongylus (T. colubriformis); Trichuris (T. ovis); on Gnathostoma spinigerum not toxic effects are showed.
Similarly effects were reported for the following Nematoda genera of agro-ecological interest: Ditylenchus (D. dipsaci), Helicotylenchus (H. dihystera), Meloidogyne (M. incognita, M. javanica, M. megadora), Pratylenchus (P. vulnus), Rotylenchulus (R. reniformis).
