The unresponsiveness of some cohorts to the drugs used in the mass drug administration program is currently raising a lot of questions and this needs urgent attention. Natural medicinal plants have a long\u2010standing history of being effective against most disease conditions. Countries such as India have been able to integrate their natural plant remedies into the treatment of lymphatic filarial conditions, and the results are overwhelmingly positive.

Therefore, this review calls for attention toward\u00a0the use of natural plant components as an alternate treatment against lymphatic filariasis to help reduce the World Health Organization's burden of providing drugs for people in need of treatment every year.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/hsr2.1295","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,27]],"date-time":"2023-05-27T08:32:55Z","timestamp":1685176375000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Use of medicinal plants as a remedy against lymphatic filariasis: Current status and future prospect"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"6","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8046-5099","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Fatima A.","family":"Fordjour","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Microbiology University for Development Studies Tamale Ghana"},{"name":"Department of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, College of Science Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology Kumasi Ghana"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9187-2503","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Priscilla","family":"Osei\u2010Poku","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, College of Science Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology Kumasi Ghana"},{"name":"Kumasi Centre for Collaborative Research in Tropical Medicine Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology Kumasi Ghana"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Afua K.
