Maasai Enthnoveterinary Medicine: An Avenue of Bioprospecting for Anthelmintics
Abstract/OtherAbstract :
A biopropecting field survey conducted in Maasailand revealed that, the Maasai in Loitokitok division of Kajiado district use <i>Withania app, Clausena anisata, Albizia anthelmintica</i> to control worm infestation. This is the first report on the anthelmintic activity of <i>Withania spp and Clausena anisata</i>. This report further shows that, the Maasai have a rich indigenous knowledge of symptom of diseases, seasonality of helminthes outbreaks and the species most affected. They use this knowledge to confirm diagnosis of helminthes infestation. <i> The Kenya Veterinarian </i> Vol. 27 2004: pp. 3-4
