Abstract

Two-hundred thirty-nine Madagascan medicinal plants have been either retrieved from computerized ethnobotany information or identified in our own ethnomedicine work as having antimalarial properties. Such a high rate percent of plants compared to those used empirically to treat other diseases reflects the importance and the complication of this major tropical disease in Madagascar.
