Antibacterial and antiplasmodial potentials of essential oils from two plants of Tangawisi products: Zingiber officinalis Roscoe and Monodora myristica (Gaertn) Dunal

This work aimed to highlight antibacterial and antiplasmodial potentials of Zingiber officinalis and Monodora myristica essential oils. The extraction yields in essential oils were 1.28±0.05% for Z. officinalis rhizome and 1.52±0.14% for M. myristica seeds. Diameter of the inhibition zone formed as a result of Z. officinalis oil is 39.17±1.44 mm, 37.00±4.33 mm, 36.17±6.64 mm and 20.67±2.26 mm respectively for Salmonella sp, Pseudomonas...
