Thus, the objective of the study was to screen in vitro anthelmintic activity of leaves and fruits of &lt;em&gt;Zanthoxylum rhetsa&lt;/em&gt; on &lt;em&gt;Eisenia fetida&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Tubifex tubifex&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;strong&gt; Material and Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; Total methanol extract and solvent fractions of methanol extract were prepared by maceration and solvent solvent extraction process respectively. The chromatographic fingerprints of total methanol extracts of leaves and fruits were developed using HPTLC. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; The leaf and fruit extracts showed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, terpenoids, coumarins, essential oils and saponins. The extracts exhibited significant anthelmintic activity as evidenced by decrease in paralysis death time in the treatment groups when compared to standard. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; The results suggest that fruits and leaves of &lt;em&gt;Z rhetsa&lt;/em&gt; have promising anthelmintic activity and further studies are required to identify the phytochemicals responsible for anthelmintic activity.&lt;/p&gt;
