TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the effect of nine African medicinal plants (Cassia occidentalis leaves, Cryptolepis sanguinolenta root bark, Euphorbia hirta whole plant, Garcinia kola stem bark and seeds, Morinda lucida leaves and Phyllanthus niruri whole plant) on P. falciparum growth in vitro.

Evaluation of African medicinal plants for their in vitro trypanocidal activity
TL;DR: The plant extracts showed a modest selectivity index, in contrast to commercially available trypanocides which have a more distinct selective toxicity against trypanosomes.
Journal ArticleDOI
In vitro effects of four tropical plants on three life-cycle stages of the parasitic nematode, Haemonchus contortus.
TL;DR: In vitro results suggest that these four plants, traditionally used by small farmers in Western Africa, do possess anti-parasitic properties, although these effects remain to be confirmed through in vivo studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pomegranate as a cosmeceutical source: pomegranate fractions promote proliferation and procollagen synthesis and inhibit matrix metalloproteinase-1 production in human skin cells.
TL;DR: Heuristic potential of pomegranate fractions for facilitating skin repair in a polar manner is suggested, namely aqueous extracts (especially of pembrokeshire peel) promoting regeneration of dermis, and pome Granatum seed oil promotes regeneration of epidermis.

Trypanosoma brucei: A rapid “matching” method for estimating the host's parasitemia
W.J. Herbert,W.H.R. Lumsden +1 more
TL;DR: A new technique for estimating the absolute level of parasitemias in trypanosome infections is described, achieved by matching microscopic fields of a wet blood film against charts and, where fewer organisms are present, by counting the number oftrypanosomes in 5, 10, or 20 microscope fields.
