Various concentrations (10, 20, 50, 100, 150, 200 mg/mL) of ethanolic extracts of the fruits were used to determine the in-vitro anthelmintic activity by correlation with the ability of the extracts to paralyse and kill the worm. citrifolia were extracted using absolute alcohol by maceration technique and concentrated via rotatory evaporator. The study was carried out with and without the standard drug albendazole to check the comparative efficacy of M. citrifolia Linn exhibited significant anthelmintic activity in terms of time of paralysis and death against the earthworm, Eudrilus eugeniae (African Night Crawler). The present study specifically indicated the ethanolic extract of the fruits of M.
citrifolia Linn, locally known as "noni plant" or "mengkudu", has been reported as traditional remedies for a variety of diseases including its anthelmintic effect. Thus, this phenomenon has paved way for researchers to search for potential sources of alternatives including herbs to minimize the problem. World Health Organisation (WHO) has approved a few drugs that are frequently used in the treatment of helminth infestations in human being. Abstract: Helminth infections are one of the most prevalent infectious disease that impacts on global human's health.
