Table 3 Effect of aqueous fraction of the methanolic root extract of D. angustifolia on parasitaemia and mean survival time of the mice

Treatment	Dose mg/kg	%Parasitemia	%Chemosuppression	Mean survival time
Aq. fraction	200	48.79 ± 2.00	14.76^c	7.40 ± 0.51
	400	47.56 ± 1.56	16.91^c	8.29 ± 0.83
	600	45.23 ± 1.31	20.98^c	8.58 ± 0.53
Chloroquine	10	0	100	12.84 ± 1.32
Distilled water	1 ml	57.24 ± 2.85	0	7.58 ± 0.53

c = p < 0.001, parasitaemia and survival time expressed as mean ± SD, n = 5, The results are expressed as the percent suppression of parasitaemia with reference to non-treated mice.
