Description The aim of this study was to test the impact of Piper betle leaf extracts on potential antigiardial activity in vivo for the possibility of using this plant as a potential antigiardial remedy that could be a substitute for current commercial treatment. Our results represent an important insight into this issue indicating that the aqueous extract of P. betle shows giardicidal effects. Nevertheless, being the first report on the effect of P. betle extracts on G. intestinalis in vivo, more studies, probably more particularized, are required.
