The digestive system, reproductive system and salivary glands of C. indicus were extracted in various solvents. The extracts were screened against human pathogens by disc diffusion method. The chloroform: methanol (2: 1) extract of digestive system and aqueous extract of female reproductive system were most active. No lethal effect was noted on shrimps.
