An Overview of Ethnobotanical Studies on Plants Used for the Treatment of Malaria

As the previous chapter has shown, plants are widely used for the treatment of malaria throughout the Tropics. The questions to be addressed here are which plant species are used, how widely they are used, which should be prioritised for future research, and which should be prioritised for conservation measures. To date, there has been no systematic overview of the literature to assess which plant species are the most important candidates for further research and conservation.
