Two-hundred thirty-nine Madagascan medicinal plants have been either retrieved from computerized ethnobotany information or identified in our own ethnomedicine work as having antimalarial properties. Such a high rate percent of plants compared to those used empirically to treat other diseases reflects the importance and the complication of this major tropical disease in Madagascar.
239种马达加斯加药用植物已从计算机化的民族植物学信息中检索出来,或者在我们自己的民族医学研究中被鉴定具有抗疟特性。与用于治疗其他疾病的经验性用药植物相比,这类植物的比例如此之高,反映出这种主要热带疾病在马达加斯加的重要性和复杂性。
