Abstract The effects of Fenugreek oil and Fenugreek water extract on some parasitological, immunological, and biochemical parameters in mice infected with Schistosoma mansoni were investigated. • According to the chemical analysis Fenugreek seeds oil mainly composed of linoleic acid, (E,E)-4-decadienal, and isopropyl myristate, while Fenugreek seeds water extract major constituents were rutin, P-coumaric, hydroxyl-benzoic acid, ferulic acid, and sinapic acid. • The results showed that the treatment of S. mansoni-infected mice with 0.15 ml of Fenugreek seeds oil daily for 10 successive days exhibited a significant reduction in the number of male, total and coupled S. mansoni worms as compared to an infected control group (p<0.05). while Fenugreek seeds water extract (0.5 ml/mouse for 10 successive days) exhibited a significant reduction (P<0.05) in worm burden but to less extent than Fenugreek oil. • A scan electron micro |
