          Abstract

          Gastrointestinal nematodes are a major threat to small ruminant rearing in the Sahel area, where farmers traditionally use bioactive plants to control these worms, including Acacia nilotica and Acacia raddiana. The main aim of this study was to screen the potential anthelmintic properties of aqueous and acetone extracts of leaves of these two plants based on three in vitro assays: (1) the egg hatch inhibition assay (EHA); (2) the larvae exsheathment inhibition assay (LEIA) using Haemonchus contortus as a model; and (3) an adult mortality test (AMT) applied on Caenorhabditis elegans. For the EHA, only A. raddiana was effective with IC 50 = 1.58 mg/mL for aqueous extract, and IC 50 = 0.58 mg/mL for acetonic extract. For the LEIA, all extracts inhibited the exsheathment of larvae compared to the controls, and the aqueous extract of A. nilotica was more larvicidal with IC 50 = 0.195 mg/mL. In general, all responses to the substances were dose-dependent and were significantly different from the control group ( p < 0.05). For the AMT, the extracts of the two Acacia species were effective but A. raddiana showed greater efficacy with 100% mortality at 2.5 mg/mL and LC 50 = 0.84 mg/mL (acetonic extract). The addition of polyvinyl polypyrrolidone (PVPP) to the extracts suggested that tannins were responsible for blocking egg eclosion and inducing adult mortality but were not responsible for exsheathment inhibition. These results suggest that the leaves of these Acacia species possess ovicidal and larvicidal activities in vitro against H. contortus, and adulticidal effects against C. elegans.

          Les nématodes gastro-intestinaux demeurent une menace majeure de l'élevage des petits ruminants en zone sahélienne, où les éleveurs utilisent traditionnellement des plantes bioactives pour maîtriser ces parasites, notamment Acacia nilotica et Acacia raddiana. L'objectif de ce travail était de vérifier l'efficacité anthelminthique d'extraits aqueux et acétoniques de feuilles de ces deux plantes sur la base de 3 tests in vitro : 1) l'inhibition de l'éclosion des œufs (EHA), 2) l'inhibition du dégainement des larves (LEA) appliquée au modèle Haemonchus contortus et 3) la mortalité des Caenorhabditis elegans adultes (AMT). Pour EHA, seul A. raddiana a été efficace avec IC 50 = 1,58 mg/mL pour l'extrait aqueux et IC 50 = 0,58 mg/mL pour l'extrait acétonique. Pour LEA, tous les extraits ont inhibé le dégainement des larves par rapport aux témoins et l'extrait aqueux d' A. nilotica a été plus larvicide avec un IC 50 = 0,195 mg/mL. De façon générale, toutes les concentrations agissent de façon dose-dépendante et sont significativement différentes du groupe témoin (P < 0,05). Pour AMT, les extraits des deux Acacia ont été efficaces mais A. raddiana a été plus efficace avec 100% de mortalité à 2,5 mg/mL avec une DL 50 = 0,84 mg/mL (extrait acétonique). L'addition de polyvinylpolypyrrolidone (PVPP) aux extraits a montré que les tannins seraient responsables de l'inhibition de l'éclosion des œufs et de la mortalité chez les vers adultes, mais ne seraient pas responsables de l'inhibition du dégainement des larves. Ces résultats suggèrent que les feuilles de ces deux Acacia possèdent des activités ovicides et larvicides in vitro contre H. contortus et des effets sur les C. elegans adultes.

            The effects of tannin-rich plants on parasitic nematodes in ruminants.

            Apart from the obvious role of plants in herbivore nutrition, they are also a rich source of bioactive products that can operate either to the benefit or the detriment of grazing animals. Here, we review the available evidence for the potential beneficial effects that plant-derived bioactive substances can have on gastrointestinal parasites. Tannin-rich plants have attracted most attention for their effect on internal nematodes in ruminants. These plants could act through direct antiparasitic activity but might also act indirectly by increasing host resistance. The effects vary with the species of plant, parasite and host. More research is required to understand better the mechanisms of action, and therefore make more pertinent use of these bioactive plants in livestock systems.
