The present work aimed to study the possible curative role of Costus (Saussurea lappa) root extract against Schistosoma mansoni infection induced liver toxicity, cytokines, oxidative stress and DNA damage in mice. 40 adult male micewere divided into four groups (G1, control; G2, Costus; G3, infection with S. mansoni live cercariae; G4, S. mansoni infection followed by Costus treatment). By comparison to control, mice with S. mansoni infection exhibited significantly (p},
