The way forward is a potent and readily available alternative antimalarial drugs and natural products (especially the African herbs) hold the key to these drugs. The book is about the antimalarial studies of some local herbs such as Plyalthia longifolia, Mallotus oppositifolius, Elaeis guineensis and Sarcocephalus latifolius found growing freely in Ghana.
