A cysteine protease from the latex of Ficus benjamina has in vitro anthelmintic activity against Haemonchus contortus

Abstract Haemonchus contortus is a gastrointestinal nematode that is responsible for high mortality rates in ruminant herds. The resistance of nematodes to synthetic anthelmintics is widespread and requires a continuous search for new bioactive molecules, such as proteins. The objective of this stud...
