    abstract = {Experimental study was conducted to
investigate <i>in-vitro</i> anthelmintic activities of condensed
tannins on egg hatch ability and larval development
inhibition of sheep <i>Hemonchus contortus</i>. In view of that,
three indigenous medicinal plants: <i>Rhus glutinosa</i>,
<i>Syzygium guineensa</i> and <i>Alpizia gumifera</i> were selected
based on their relatively high content of condensed
tannins and their aqueous acetone extraction was used for
egg hatchability and larval development inhibition assays.
The results showed that various concentrations of the
extracts of all three condensed tannins demonstrated
statistically significant (p<0.05) dose dependent inhibition
of both egg hatchability and larval development.
According to ED<sub>50</sub> and ED<sub>90</sub> values, the condensed tannin
inhibiting egg hatching and larval development most
potently was <i>Rhus glutinosa</i> followed in descending order
of activity by <i>Syzygium guineensa</i> and <i>Alpizia gumifera</i>.
Finally, our work suggests that condensed tannins might
be recommended as one of the options for the control of
<i>Hemonchus contortus</i> of sheep.}
