Abstract
Curcumin is the major active ingredient of Curcuma longa
L., traditionally known as turmeric and has been shown to exhibit a wide
range of pharmacological activities including anti-parasitic effect. However, it is found to be water-insoluble and has low bioavailability. The aim
of this study was to explore the potential role of turmeric solved in olive
oil either alone or in combination with praziquantel (PZQ) in treatment
of schistosomiasis mansoni
