Abstract: FIGUEROA, JAMEA E., PEGA, JOHN PATRICK L. IN VITRO ANTHELMINTHIC ACTIVITY OF Averrhoa carambola LEAF EXTRACT AGAINST ADULT Ascaris sum. Undergraduate Thesis. Bachelor of Science in Medical Technology, Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. October 2016. Adviser: Ms. Karen Krista M. Escobar. The study was conducted at the laboratory of the Department of Medical Technology, College of Nursing, Cavite State University, Bancod, Indang, Cavite from Mai-cli 2016 to June 2016. It generally aimed to determine the effect of star fruit (Averrhoa carambola) on Ascaris sum. Specifically, this study aimed to determine the mortality rate of Ascaris sum treated with different concentrations of Averrhoa carambola leaf extract at different time intervals and determine if the prepared Averrhoa carambola extracts is comparable with the commercially available anthelmintic drug. The freshly collected Averrhoa carambola leaves were air-dried, hand pounded, grinded by blender and was placed in different jars with different solvents. The freshly collected Ascaris sum were placed in a thermos flask, were traveled from the slaughterhouse to the laboratory and transferred into equal-sized plastic cups after rinsing. Completely randomized design was used in assigning the portion of each extract with Ascaris sum adult worm. After 48 hours of observation, the experiment showed that the most effective extract against Ascaris sum worms was the methanolic leaf extract. The concentration that exhibited the highest effectiveness of killing worms was the 75 percent concentration. Based on the mortality rate of Ascaris sum worms within the given concentrations and time-intervals, the researchers concluded that the prepared 75 percent methanolic leaf extract is the most comparable with Albendazole.The study recommends that the 75 percent methanolic leaf extract can be a good alternative of Albendazole in treating Ascariasis.
