摘要：

In this study, we evaluated the potential use of Nicotina tabacum in controlling leech populations. After treating the leeches with different concentrations of N. tabacum for 30 min, the LC 50 values were analysed. Copper sulphate and ammonium chloride were used as positive controls. The anti-parasitic effect of N. tabacum was compared with positive controls. Our data showed that the LD 50 values for N. tabacum were 13 × 10 4 ppm which was considerable compared with positive control. Our finding offers an opportunity for using the plant for anti-parasite purposes. © 2012 Springer-Verlag London Limited.
