A cysteine protease from the latex of Ficus benjamina has in vitro anthelmintic activity against Haemonchus contortus
Rev. bras. parasitol. vet; 27 (4), 2018
Abstract Haemonchus contortus is a gastrointestinal nematode that is responsible for high mortality rates in ruminant herds. The resistance of nematodes to synthetic anthelmintics is widespread and requires a continuous search for new bioactive molecules, such as proteins. The objective of this study was...
