A study carried out in north-east Tanzania revealed that 70% of families mainly use Ocimum gratissimum and Ocimum kilimandscharicum for protection against mosquitoes (Anopheles arabiensis, Anopheles gambiae and Culex quinquefasciatus) and, to a lesser extent, the bush plant Lantana camara and the trees Azadirachta indica (neem) and Eucalyptus globulus.
