S. A. Kowser Alam Laskar, Ajit Kumar Das.


Abstract
Malaria is a life-threatening blood disease caused by a parasite that is transmitted to human by the Anopheles mosquito. Malaria is preventable and treatable disease. It malaria is diagnosed and treated early on the duration of the infection can be considerably reduced, which in turn lowers the risk of complication and death. Traditional healers were also used traditionally in their locality to treat malaria. The herbalists claim that these traditional plants remedies are effective and elicit little or no side effects. From the study area documented only 14 plant species belonging to 14 families for the treatment of Malaria. However, the traditional healers treat malaria and a wide range of other health problems using medicinal plants of unverified efficacy in various unstandardized dosage forms. Hence, there is urgent need for scientific evaluation and standardization of these formulation and dosages. These antimalarial medicinal plants could be sources of new hit/lead compounds in antimalaria chemotherapy.

Key words: Anopheles mosquito; Halam; Hailakandi district; Malaria
