ABSTRACT
The evaluation of the anti malarial properties of the essential oil extract of Tithoniadiversifolia was carried out using the standard tests suppressive tests in laboratorymice. The Swiss albino mice were infected with rodent malaria parasite(Plasmodium berghei berghei) and were treated with 300mg/kg, 600mg/kg and1200mg/kg dose of the oil extracts. The result showed that the oil extract ofTithonia diversifolia had a very good activity against Plasmodium berghei. Thetest substances were able to reduce the parasitaemia level with a clear significantdifference between the treated groups and the control group, although parasiteswere not totally cleared after termination of treatment.
