The mean survival time (mst) and haematocrit was determined following treatment of Plasmodium berghei infected mice with Casuarina equistifolia and Mangifera indica (leaf) extracts during established infection and repository test procedures. The survival time was significant (P<0.05) and dose dependent compared to the control group. The packed cell volume (PCV) taken on day zero and seven following established infection indicated that both extracts failed significantly (P<0.0.5) in preventing reduction of PCV in infected mice although some what lesser percentages where observed in 400 and 200mg/kg C. equistifolia. In the repository test, significant drop in PCV (P<0.05) was observed in all the groups except the chloroquine phosphate group.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
