Different concentrations (50 and 100 mg\/ml) of methanolic, diethyl ether and aqueous extracts were evaluated for anthelmintic activity by recording the time required for paralysis and death of earthworms. The activities were compared with the standard drug Albendazole. Dose-dependent activity was observed in the solvent extracts of seaweed. However, the methanolic extract of seaweed <i>Padina tetrastromatica<\/i> showed significant anthelmintic activity than the standard drug.<o_p><\/o_p><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify; line-height: 150%;\"><b><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-size:10.0pt;line-height:150%;mso-bidi-font-family:Calibri; mso-fareast-language:EN-GB;mso-no-proof:yes\">Keywords<\/span><\/b><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-size:10.0pt;line-height:150%;mso-bidi-font-family:Calibri; mso-fareast-language:EN-GB\">: <i>Padina tetrastromatica, Pheretima posthuma<\/i>, Anthelmintic, Methanolic extract.<o_p><\/o_p><\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify; font-size: 15px;\"><font color=\"#4f81bd\" face=\"Calibri, sans-serif\"><b><br \/><\/b><\/font><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/npaa.in\/journal-ijta\/admin\/ufile\/1464670877IJTA_32_77-80.pdf\">PDF<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>B.
