Abstract Schistosomiasis is an endemic disease in 47 countries causing more than 250,000 deaths every year. Accordingly, the development of an effective drug for eradication of schistosomiasis is an open research field. The current chemotherapy for control is PZQ. Chemotherapy of Schistosoma infection remains the cornerstone of intervention but rapid reinfection demand frequent treatment and emphasizes the need for long-term approach. So, a major focus of research has been directed to use the natural products against S. mansoni infection. The present work was carried out to determine the effect of Balanities aegyptiaca fruit aqueous extract alone or with PZQ on some parasitological, histological, scan electron microscope (SEM) and biochemical aspects of albino mice infected with S. mansoni. |
