Abstract

All animal species are infected with parasitic nematodes, which are extremely widespread and diverse. Their significance in natural ecosystems is becoming increasingly clear. Host movement has long been known to have a significant role in deciding the genetic makeup of parasitic nematode populations. More recently, studies have emphasized the significance of nematode life histories, environmental factors, and other host ecological components. Parasitic infections by nematodes continue to be a major global health concern, particularly in developing nations, despite advancements in contemporary human and veterinary treatment. Research on alternative treatments for nematode infections has increased due to mounting evidence of these nematodes' multidrug resistance and the adverse effects of currently available synthetic pharmaceuticals. In this situation, investigating possible botanical antiparasitics which are widely available and priced might be a practical substitute. In this review the prevalence of nematodes is summarized and how the infection of nematodes can be treated through plant-based drugs instead of conventional approaches.
