| Abstract | |
This review article covers literature on the antischistosomal activity of essential oils (EOs) between 2011 and 2021. Criteria for classifying results from in vitro schistosomicidal assays are proposed for the first time. Parameters to evaluate the in vitro antischistosomal potential of EOs other than their ability to cause the death of Schistosoma mansoni adult worms (e. g., couple separation, egg laying, and egg development inhibition) are also addressed and discussed.
