Abstract

Graphical abstract On day 6, blood smears and staining for parasites from control animals (no treatment) showed a high parasitemia and many parasites in the ring stages (A). But for animals treated with 40mg/kg body weight of curcuminoids-loaded liposomes, the parasitemia was lower and interestingly red blood cells showed fewer ring stage parasites (B). [Display omitted]
