Abstract: Eucalyptus is a fast-growing plant with rich activities. The roots, stems and leaves of Eucalyptus all have medicinal values. Extracts from different parts of various kinds of Eucalyptus show antiparasitic effects, not only the repelling and killing effects on ectoparasites such as ticks and mites, but also the antiparasitic activities against endoparasites such as helminth and protozoa. This paper reviews the effects of Eucalyptus extracts and their chemical componets on protozoa including flagellates, sporozoan and ciliates.

Key words: Eucalyptus, Parasite, Antiparasitic effect, Protozoon, Antiprotozoal effect
