This study was carried out with the aim of contributing to the enhancement and preservation of medicinal plants used in the treatment of malaria in Côte d'Ivoire. For this, an ethnobotanical survey was conducted in seven markets in the city of Korhogo and among 28 herbalists. The majority of herbalists surveyed are women (71%) with an age range between 31 and 50 years (61%). The study identified 67 species of plants divided into 63 genera and 28 botanical families. The most represented family is the Fabaceae (13.4%). The most used species are Anogeissus leiocarpus (DC) Gill. and Perr. and Nauclea latifolia (Sm.). Species from the Sudano-Zambézi and Guineo-Congolese phytogeographical regions were the most represented with 26 species. Among the organs used, the leaves (77.6%) are the most used in the recipes. The decoction (76.1%) is the most used mode of preparation and the oral route (86.6%) remains the main route of administration. Regarding their accessibility, 10 of these species are disappearing. Phytochemical screening carried out with the leaves of the two most cited plants revealed the presence of polyterpenes, polyphenols, flavonoids, catechin tannins, quinones, alkaloids and saponosides.
