Malaria is one of the leading causes of death in the tropics and subtropics. Though Odisha has seen a decline in malaria cases over the past few years, it remains a contributing factor in deciding India's malaria journey. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA)-based systematic review aims to investigate and compile the ethnomedicinal evidence-based documented research data on anti-malarial medicinal plants in Mayurbhanj, Odisha. An extensive literature survey was conducted using online databases, following the PRISMA-Protocols (PRISMA-P) guidelines for anti-malarial prophylaxis and diagnosis using the ethnomedicinal plants in Mayurbhanj. Using appropriate exclusion and inclusion criteria, 20 literature/book chapters were included in the study. Origin 2024b was used for the analysis of the ethnomedicinal information. The study identified 40 plant species used by traditional healers in anti-malarial treatment. These 40 plant species belong to 24 families, the majority of which are the Acanthaceae and Apocyanaceae. Most of the formulations came from a decoction, paste, juice and powder. It was interesting to note that the formulations were predominantly provided by oral route. The leaves and roots were the significant parts used by the healers for the anti-malarial treatment. However, no side effects were reported for these plants. The review highlights the rich variety of ethnomedicinal plants and their recipes for anti-malarial treatment in Mayurbhanj. The disease still plagues Odisha, necessitating study on dispersed ethnomedicinal studies for a better therapeutic comprehension of the diagnosis. This will aid diagnosis and boost tribal knowledge and culture.
疟疾是热带和亚热带地区主要的死亡原因之一。尽管奥里萨邦在过去几年中疟疾病例有所下降，但它仍是决定印度疟疾防治进程的一个因素。基于系统评价和荟萃分析的首选报告项目（PRISMA）的系统评价旨在调查和汇编奥里萨邦梅奥尔布汉杰地区抗疟药用植物的民族医学循证文献研究数据。按照PRISMA方案（PRISMA-P）指南，使用在线数据库对梅奥尔布汉杰地区使用民族药用植物进行抗疟预防和诊断的文献进行了广泛的调查。根据适当的排除和纳入标准，本研究纳入了20篇文献/书籍章节。使用Origin 2024b对民族医学信息进行分析。该研究确定了传统治疗师用于抗疟治疗的40种植物物种。这40种植物物种属于24个科，其中大多数是爵床科和夹竹桃科。大多数配方来自煎剂、糊剂、汁液和粉末。有趣的是，这些配方主要通过口服途径提供。叶子和根是治疗师用于抗疟治疗的重要部位。然而，这些植物没有报告副作用。该综述强调了梅奥尔布汉杰地区丰富多样的民族药用植物及其抗疟治疗配方。这种疾病仍然困扰着奥里萨邦，有必要对分散的民族医学研究进行研究，以便更好地理解诊断的治疗方法。这将有助于诊断，并促进部落知识和文化。
