Anthelmintic effects of pure trans-cinnamaldehyde (CA).

(a) Anthelmintic effects of CA against Ascaris suum third stage (L3) and fourth stage (L4) larvae. Mortality of A. suum was assessed after 12 hours incubation for L3 and 6 hours for L4. L3 results are the mean of three independent experiments, each performed in triplicate and the L4 results are from a single experiment performed in triplicate. Error bars indicate the inter-replicate SEM. (b) Anthelmintic effects of CA against Oesophagostomum dentatum L3 and Trichuris suis first-stage larvae (L1). Mortality of O. dentatum was measured by agar-based migration inhibition assay after overnight incubation in CA and T. suis mortality by observation of motility after 2 hours incubation. O. dentatum results are the mean of two independent experiments, each performed in triplicate and T. suis results from a single experiment performed in triplicate. Error bars indicate the inter-replicate SEM.
