Survey of Medicinal Plants Used to Treat Malaria by Sidama People of Boricha District, Sidama Zone, South Region of Ethiopia

Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Volume 2016, Issue 1, 2016., 2016
In Ethiopia, malaria control has been complicated due to resistance of the parasite to the current drugs. Thus, new drugs are required against drug‐resistant Plasmodium strains. Historically, many of the present antimalarial drugs were discovered from plants. This study was, therefore, conducted to document antimalarial plants utilized by Sidama people

Adnumeratives are cross‐linguistically very rare; yet they raise some interesting theoretical discussions. This work is based
