| Summary: | Sixty Balb/c mice (Mus musculus) were used in the present study. It was conducted out in the animal
house of the Department of Biology/College of Education for Women. The mice were infected with
Entamoeba histolytica isolated from positive stool samples obtained from children in pediatric hospital in
Kirkuk city governorate followed by treatment with aqueous extract of Cyperus rotundus and Thymus
serpyllum. Results revealed a significant increase of P < 0.05 in immunoglobulin A, immunoglobulin
G,, and immunoglobulin M antibody levels among infected mice when it was compared with the
control and treated groups of aqueous extracts of studied plant. This indicates the efficacy of these
extracts as treatment. |
