Abstract
Malaria is one of the major vector-borne diseases in Jharkhand and other states of India with significant morbidity and mortality. The challenge of drug resistance to anti-malarial medicines has been a major obstacle controlling malarial disease. The National Vector Borne Disease Control Programme has formulated new treatment guidelines for malaria that recommend phytochemical constituent artemisinin based combination therapy as the first-line drugs for P.falciparum malaria. The demand of plant based anti malarial drugs has been increased in the world. Therefore, it is important to find out effective plant species which are traditionally used by the tribal and rural people since time immemorial. The present review work aims to identify plants with Anti-malarial properties which were used by the tribal and local communities by applying prevalent traditional knowledge system.
