Suppression percentage of Plasmodium yoelii in mice induced by plant extracts at 1-week post-infection. Five mice were used per group. Artemisia judaica and Cleome droserifolia plant extracts were tested in one independent experiment that shared the same control, and Trichodesma africanum and Vachellia tortilis plant extracts were tested in another independent experiment that shared the same control. All mice were challenged by an intraperitoneal injection of approximately 1 × 107P. yoelii-infected erythrocytes and then were treated orally with 100 mg/kg/day of each plant extract for 1 week. The mean and standard deviation of the parasite growth inhibition percentages were calculated against the untreated group mice from 24 h after challenge (dpi = 1) until 7 days post-infection (24 h after end course of treatment) (A–D) Parasite growth inhibition percentages in mice treated with A. judaica (A), C. droserifolia (B), T. africanum (C), or V. tortilis (D) plant extract.
