Evaluation of anti-parasitic effect of Andrographis paniculata (Burm. F) nees, ethanolic extract of toxoplasma gondii

Infection with Toxoplasma gondii remains widespread because water and food serve as major sources of sporulated oocysts. Infection is poorly controlled as current medications have limited efficacious and severe side effects, and are accompanied by potential development of resistance, and there is an...
