Antiparasitic Agents from Plants

  • Chapter
Phytochemical Resources for Medicine and Agriculture

Abstract

Parasites are generally grouped into one of three broad classes: protozoa (single-celled organisms), helminths (including nematodes, trematodes, and cestodes), and ectoparasites. Parasitic diseases inflict tremendous damage and suffering to plants, animals, and humans. The scope of parasitism is difficult to imagine; it has been estimated that one billion people suffer from intestinal nematode infections alone, and as many as 150,000 avoidable deaths occur each year due to helminthiasis (Bundy, 1990).
