Reviews

"This impressive volume is the result of a decade of work by its distinguished editors and over 50 highly-qualified contributing authors from around the world. [It includes] excellent case studies that provide a detailed, often historical, assessment of the potential and limitations of a significant subject of important anti-malarial plant species from South America, Africa and Asia. This is an important reference volume for all who realize the need for more effective strategies in the battle against malaria ." - Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine "This neatly packaged text is being recommended for many categories of readers including medical, pharmaceutical, general and industrial drug scientists. Libraries of health care, teaching and research institutions and those who want a current book of facts will find it useful. Relevant research students and established investigators in this field can use the well-researched articles . Traditional healers, who appreciate scientific investigations prior to the claim of efficacy, will love to use this book." - Afr. J. Trad. CAM, 2005 "This interesting and informative book deals with the entire field of antimalarial and antivectoral natural products . The book is full of new visions for traditional medicine; this is what makes it such an enjoyable read for the interested observer, and an extremely useful reference work." - Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene "[The] book is well edited. [It] is of relevance not only in the area of ethnopharmacology and natural product biology, but also to anyone interested in public health and novel approaches to control infectious diseases. I very much hope that thebook will stimulate research in this important area." - Journal of Ethnopharmacology
