Malaria is an increasing worldwide threat, with more than three
hundred million infections and one million deaths every year. The
world's poorest are the worst affected, and many treat themselves
with traditional herbal medicines. These are often more available
and affordable, and sometimes are perceived as more effective than
conventional antimalarial drugs.
The first book to be published on this subject, Traditional
Medicinal Plants and Malaria explores the evidence for the safety
and efficacy of some of these traditional medicines, and presents
practical guidelines for designing studies on traditional
plant-based antimalarial medicines, mosquito repellents, and
insecticides. Systematic reviews of the literature and consensus
guidelines form the main body of the book. Ethnomedical,
ethnobotanical, pharmacological, phytochemical, toxicological, and
clinical aspects of herbal antimalarials are also reviewed. These
are supplemented by case studies of the most well-known traditional
antimalarials.
