Effect of Essential Oils of Thymus vulgris on the Vitality of the Protoscolices of Echinococcus granulosus
Abstract
It was observed by dealing with the larval stage of the Echinococcus granulosus parasite, its high resistance and its ability to live for long periods in poor conditions outside the body of the intermediate host, as it was able to remain alive after several days at low temperatures as well as at relatively high temperatures. The study showed that the essential oil Thymus vulgris has an effective effect on the vitality of primary heads in the laboratory, results showed at concentrations of 10,000, 5000, and 2500 PPM. The percentage of deaths compared to the control increased to 100% immediately after treatment, while at a concentration of 1.250 PPM, the parasite was completely destroyed after an hour. Here we find that the first three concentrations have a very effective effect compared to the fourth concentration.
