The study carried out in vivo antibacterial activities of Parquetina nigrescens leaf extracts for the control of typhoid fever. In vivo bioassay was carried out to evaluate the antibacterial and toxicological effects of ethanolic leaf extract of Parquetina nigrescens in Swiss albino mice. Mice infected with the standard inoculum of Salmonella typhi then treated with the extract (group II) showed no signs of infection due to in vivo antibacterial activity of the leaf extract while the mice given standard inoculum of Salmonella typhi without treatment (group I) showed signs of infection. For instance, there was significant (P<0.05) decrease in red blood count (RBC), haemoglobin concentration (Hb), packed cell volume (PCV), mean corpuscular volume (MCV) and mean corpuscular haemoglobin (MCH). Also, the results obtained from blood analysis of mice given only the extract (group III) showed that the extract has no deleterious effects on the blood parameters of the mice compare to the result obtained from group IV (control group). Urinalysis result of the mice was found to be positive to biluribin and urobinogen in group I while negative in other groups. Proximate analysis of ethanolic leaf extract of P.nigrescens showed that carbohydrate, crude protein, ash content, moisture content, ether extract and crude fibre were present in decreasing order.
