Malaria

Antiplasmodial Activity of the Ethanolic Extract and Flavonoid Fraction of the Stem of Phyllanthus amarus in Experimental Mice

Malaria infestation in Nigeria is still worrisome, hence, the need for new antimalarial agents. This study, therefore, investigates the antiplasmodial activity of the ethanolic extract and flavonoid fraction of the stem of P. amarus in the blood, brain, liver and pancreas of Plasmodium berghei (chloroquine sensitive NK65 strain) infested mice.
