Aims: To evaluate the phytoconstituent and antitrypanosomal effects of aqueous extracts of Ginger and Garlic bulbs in mice experimentally infected with Trypanosoma brucei brucei. Design: A total of 30 adult male mice (weighing 25-40 g) were randomly grouped into six groups (I, II, III, IV, V, and VI) of 5 animals each. Five Groups (II-VI) were intraperitoneally injected with T. brucei brucei (5×105 cells/ml). Methods and Material: Aqueous extract of ginger and garlic bulbs were obtained using the procedure described by Wabo Pone and the extracts were subjected to phytochemical screening using the standard screening method of Silva. Also, each mice was inoculated with 0.1 ml of blood containing approximately 5×105 cells/ml as described by Herbert and Lumsden. Finally, the aqueous extracts were tested on the inoculated mice. Statistical analysis used: Data obtained were expressed as mean ± standard error of the mean (SEM), and subjected to one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), SPSS 17.0 statistical software. p<0.05 was considered significant. Results: The aqueous extracts increased the survival time, packed cell volume, rectal temperature, and body weight (Ginger extract only) of mice infected with Trypanosoma brucei brucei. Phytochemical analysis revealed alkaloids, steroids, cardiac glycosides, phenol, and saponins in both Ginger and Garlic. Conclusions: Aqueous extracts of Ginger and Garlic bulbs do not have an anti-trypanosomal effect on Trypanosoma brucei brucei. Consequently, geographical location and time of collection of plants are factors that accept therapeutic on ginger and garlic on tryps and should be considered when testing the plants' efficacy on Trypanosoma brucei brucei.
