PENCARIAN TUMBUHAN OBAT YANG BERPOTENSI SEBAGAI ANTIMALARIA BERDASARKAN PENGETAHUAN ETNOMEDISIN
Abstract: Malaria caused by
Plasmodium parasites, is one of major infectious diseases in several tropical
regions, such as Asia and African countries. The main problem in overcoming
malaria are the progressive resistance of vectors to insecticides and the increasing
resistance of the paracites to drugs, such as chloroquine and artemisinin. Many
people, mainly traditional healers in the endemic regions use plants as
hereditary remedies to cure fever and other symptoms of malaria. This fact
encourages researcher to find new antimalarial agent which is affordable,
accessible, and culturally acceptable based on ethnomedicinal knowledge.
