Brine shrimp toxicity and invitro antimalarial activity of Citrus aurantifolia (Christm.) Swingle against Plasmodium falciparum 3D7

Malaria is one of the most prevalent, devastating parasitic infectious diseases in the world. In an attempt to search for new antimalarial compounds efforts are being made to do preliminary screening of aerial parts of the plant Citrus aurantifolia (Christm.) Swingle (family Rutaceae) at early flowering and fruiting stages against chloroquine sensitive Plasmodium falciparum 3D7 strain. The plan...
