	abstract = "Trifolium repens L. is an herbal plant that is used in the folk medicine of the Naga tribes of India as a deworming remedy. This study deals with evaluating its anticestodal activity using experimental Hymenolepis diminuta Rudolphi infections in albino rats. Doses of T. repens aerial shoots extract 200 and 500?mg/kg reduced the mean fecal egg counts of H. diminuta by 47.72% and 54.59% and worm recovery rate by 60.00% and 40.00%, respectively. Praziquantel, the standard cestocidal drug, reduced the mean fecal egg count by 65.90% and worm recovery rate by 26.67%. The study suggests that the aerial shoots of T. repens bear anticestodal properties and supports its use in the traditional medicine system.",
