Evaluation of ethnobotanically selected Benin medicinal plants for their in vitro antiplasmodial activity (Publications)
Twenty extracts from nine Benin medicinal plants, traditionally used to treat malaria, were screened for in vitro antiplasmodial activity towards Plasmodium falciparum K1 chloroquine resistant and 3D7
