Abstract Helminth infections inflict an enormous morbidity burden in human and in cattle. Eradication of most helminth infections is not practical. Rather the aim of control is to ensure that parasite populations do not exceed levels compatible with economic production. Great progress has been achieved in the design of “control” strategies for these infections. Control is based mainly on the use of anthelmintics. However, the most effective control is possible only through the integration of different approaches. The high incidence of anthelmintic resistance to older drugs has been reported repeatedly. The exacerbation of this problem over the last decade or so, has provided the impetus for research into new anthelmintics. Myrrh is a promising natural drug that could be used in the treatment of various diseases. This product consists of an oil, gum and resin. It is an unorganized drug that comes from Commiphora molmol Family Burseraceae. |
