He said it would showcase the latest research and discoveries on the plant.

According to him, discussions will highlight Artemisia’s role in malaria prevention and treatment, tuberculosis and schistosomiasis control, reducing antibiotic use in animal health, and natural biopesticide applications in agriculture.

The News Agency of Nigeria(NAN), reports that Artemisia is a medicinal plant best known for producing artemisinin, the compound used in modern malaria drugs.

Beyond malaria, researchers are exploring its potential in treating tuberculosis, schistosomiasis, reducing antibiotic use in livestock, and serving as a natural biopesticide in agriculture. (NAN)
