Methods
This … study was performed in 2015 to assess the anti-parasite effects of physalis alkekengi on Trichomonas vaginalis. At first, the aqueous and alcoholic extracts were prepared and proliferation of parasites in TYM Diamond culture medium was performed. The concentrations of extract were: 8000, 4000, 2000, 1000, 500 and 250 µg/ml. The proliferation was evaluated at 24, 48 and 72 hours compared to control (metronidazole 50 µg/ml) group. In all of cases, the number of live and dead parasites was counted with Trypan blue and Neubauer slide. Data was analyzed by software SPSS (version 18) and one-way variance analysis. P
