In this study, researchers at Nnamdi Azikiwe University in Nigeria evaluated the in vivo antiplasmodial activity of the ethanol leaf extract and fractions obtained from Jatropha gossypiifolia (bellyache bush) using Plasmodium berghei-infected mice. Their results were published in the Journal of Medicinal Plants Research.
Based on these findings, the researchers concluded that J. gossypiifolia leaf extracts and fractions have good antiplasmodial activity and are safe to use as natural antimalarial medicine.
