ABSTRACT
The continous emergence and spread of resistant strains of Plasmodium falciparumisolates to single and combined antimalarial drug has resulted to increase in mortality rate associated with the disease, especially in the African Continent as a whole and Nigeria in particular whe...
3. ANTI-PLASMODIAL EFFECTS OF POLYALTHIA LONGIFOLIA (VAR.) LEAF EXTRACTS AGAINST PLASMODIUM BERGHEI IN MICE
ABSTRACT Malaria is one of the most debilitating tropical parasitic diseases and the greatest cause of hospitalization and death. Recurring problems of drug resistance are reinforcing the need for finding new antimalarial drugs. In this respect, natural plant products are the main sources of biol...
4. EVALUATION OF BIOACTIVE METABOLITE CONTENTS, MOSQUITO LARVICIDAL AND ANTI-PLASMODIAL ACTIVITIES OF EXTRACTS OF THE SPIDER Neoscona adianta
ABSTRACT
In spite of the extensive control efforts, over the years, mosquito still transmit serious human diseases, cause millions of deaths every year and the development of resistance to chemical insecticides resulting in rebounding vectorial capacity. This situation is aggravated wit...
5. IN VIVO EFFICACY OF METHANOLIC EXTRACTS OF ROOT AND LEAF OF Morinda lucida IN Plasmodium berghei - INFECTED MICE
ABSTRACT
Therapeutic effects of the methanolic root extract and a combination of leaf and root extracts of Morinda lucida were evaluated for antiplasmodial activities. The phytochemical screening of the methanolic root extract showed the presence of saponins, flavonoids, alkaloids, phen...
6. ANTIPLASMODIAL ACTIVITY OF AQUEOUS AND ETHANOLIC EXTRACTS OF ANACARDIUM OCCIDENTALE AND CYMBOPOGON CITRATUS
ABSTRACT
The search for antimalarial compounds was necessitated by Plasmodium falciparum resistance to most antimalarial drugs. In endemic countries where malaria is prevalent, medicinal plants are often used to treat malaria. In this study, the in vitro antimalarial activities of crude...
