dc.description.abstractIn Nigeria most of the populace relies heavily on medicinal plants for the treatment of malaria. This thesis describes the investigation of the antiplasmodial properties of seven plants used in the traditional treatment of malaria in Nigeria. The seven plants include Mangifera indica L., Citrus limon L. Burm.f, Musa sapientum L., Psidium guajava L., Carica papaya L., Cymbopogon citratus Staph, and Vernonia amygdalina Delile. These plants are widely distributed in Nigeria and are used in Nigerian folk medicine to treat malaria and febrile illnesses. It is apparent that experimental evaluation of herbal drugs for the treatment of malaria is rather impressive, however, only few are in the market and very few have reached clinical trials. Researchers need to take more active interest in the investigation and standardization of herbal drugs with potent antimalarial activity.en_ZA
