Abstract: Fresh fruits of Lycopersicum esculentum were purchased from the local market and after washing the crude extract was prepared withthe help of electric grinder. Suitable concentrations 6, 8 and 12% were prepared in distilled water. When tested in vitro all these concentrations caused mortality of A. galli and H. gallinae after a maximum exposure of 18 and 14 hours, respectively. The extract caused signficant reduction in glucose uptake, glycogen contents, oxygen consumption, acid and alkaline phosphomonoesterase activity. Lactic acid produciton in both the parasites was enhanced. The possible mode of action is discussed.
