Neem-based products from Azadirachta indica have been successfully used for biological control of pest insects, mites, fungi and soil-borne nematodic root parasites. A large amount of scientific evidence is available on the potential of A. indica as a source for the development of human and animal health products. The authors champion the potential of neem-based products for the control of malaria in endemic countries, where these products are traditionally used. Neem-based larvicides and/or insecticides could complement other malaria control interventions in an integrated approach.
