Effect of wild plant extracts on Plasmodium yoelii growth in mice through 30 days post-infection. Five mice were used in each 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. Mean parasitemia % was monitored daily from day 0 (challenge day) until 30 days post-infection. All mice were challenged by an intraperitoneal injection of approximately 1 × 107Plasmodium yoelii-infected erythrocytes and then treated orally with 100 mg/kg/day of plant extract for 1 week. The untreated group received only PBS. A–D The mean parasitemia % of P. yoelii-infected mice treated with A. judaica (A), C. droserifolia (B), T. africanum (C), or V. tortilis (D) extract. Data were analyzed by a two-way ANOVA followed by a Bonferroni test against the untreated group (*p < 0.05)
