        abstract = {Plant products are a rich source of antifungal agents and are traditionally used to treat many fungal infectious diseases. In vitro, the antifungal activity of leaf extract of Catharanthus roseus, Lantana camara, Sida cordifolia and Ziziphus mauritiana were studied against Aspergillus sp. (A. flavus and A. fumigatus, and A. niger).  Aspergillus species isolated from soil samples were collected from Ajmer City, Rajasthan (India). Antifungal activities of the different leaf extracts were compared with the zones of inhibition produced by the standard antibiotic (Gresiofulvin) treated as a control. In the present research, three solvents including aqueous, ethanol, and DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide) were prepared as leaf extracts for antifungal activity. All leaf extracts of selected medicinal plants recorded significant activity against Aspergillus species. However, the aqueous and ethanol leaf extracts of all the selected medicinal plants showed the highest antifungal activity against all the Aspergillus species.},
