GC-MS Analysis of Bioactive Fractions of Terminalia avicennoides, Bombax buopodezense Barks and Lipid Profile of Trypanosoma brucei Infected Wistar Rats

Trypanosoma brucei, a causative agent of trypanosomiasis in livestock also possesses the ability to reoccur in disease conditions thereby increasing the trouble of ill health and if not treated on time could cause great losses to man. A comparative study was carried out to investigate the efficacy of different fractions of the extracts of Terminalia avicennoides and Bombax buopodezense on Trypanosoma brucei brucei infected wistar rats. The plants extract were fractionated using different solvents by chromatography technique.
