Research Abstract

Due to the development of praziquantel (PZQ) schistosomes resistant strains, the discovery of new antischistosomal agents is of
high priority in research. This work reported the in vitro and in vivo effects of the edible and ornamental pomegranate extracts
against Schistosoma mansoni. Leaves and stem bark ethanolic extracts of both dried pomegranates were prepared at 100, 300, and
500
