AB  - The aim of present study was to investigate the anthelmintic activity of <I>Urtica dioica </I>L<I>.</I> (nettle)<I> </I>in Swiss albino mice naturally infected with <I>Aspiculuris tetraptera.</I> Methanolic extracts obtained from leaves and seeds of<I> U. dioica </I>were evaluated for their <I>in vivo</I> anthelmintic activity. The 250 µL (175 mg mL <SUP>1</SUP>) extracts were administered  orally  on  daily  basis.  Results  showed that methanolic extract of <I>U. dioica</I> seeds possessed only a  slight anthelmintic activity. In contrast, methanolic extract of leaves exhibited potent anthelmintic activity.
