The journal will be published three times in a year – January, May and September.
General
Peer-review explanation: The peer-review follows a double-blind process; authors are not identified to reviewers and vice versa. When a manuscript is sent to reviewers, author information is removed. Similarly when review reports are shared with authors, reviewer information is removed. The journal editors select three reviewers for each manuscript; having due consideration for the research area covered in the manuscript and the field of expertise of the reviewer. If a reviewer accepts to review a manuscript, he/she is expected to turn in the report within two weeks. A manuscript is considered publishable if at least two reviewers give a positive review indicating that the paper is worth publishing. However the journal editors could still decide to not publish a manuscript if the deficiencies are considered to be too much.
Reviewer guidelines: The reviewer is given a copy of ‘Instruction to authors’ to serve as a guide. The reviewer is of course expected to give his/her opinion, as an expert in the research area. A reviewer is expected to give a concise report on every section of the manuscript (Abstract, Introduction, Experimental Methods, Results, Discussion, References) as well as give an overall assessment stating whether or not the manuscript is publishable. The review report must be sent by email to the Editor only; the same way the review request was received.
Payment procedure: If an article is considered suitable for publication, author(s) would be expected to pay the open access publication charge of USD 100.00 for submissions from outside Nigeria while NGN 36,000.00 is the fee for submissions made from Nigeria. Payment should be made to the following bank accounts depending on the currency; - Payment in NGN should be made to: First Bank Nigeria plc; Account number 2035297754; Account name – Journal of Pharmacy and Bioresources - Payment in USD should be made to: First Bank Nigeria plc (SWIFT CODE: FBNINGLA); Account number 2035878982; Account name – Journal of Pharmacy and Bioresources

General
Peer-review explanation: The peer-review follows a double-blind process; authors are not identified to reviewers and vice versa. When a manuscript is sent to reviewers, author information is removed. Similarly when review reports are shared with authors, reviewer information is removed. The journal editors select three reviewers for each manuscript; having due consideration for the research area covered in the manuscript and the field of expertise of the reviewer. If a reviewer accepts to review a manuscript, he/she is expected to turn in the report within two weeks. A manuscript is considered publishable if at least two reviewers give a positive review indicating that the paper is worth publishing. However the journal editors could still decide to not publish a manuscript if the deficiencies are considered to be too much.
Reviewer guidelines: The reviewer is given a copy of ‘Instruction to authors’ to serve as a guide. The reviewer is of course expected to give his/her opinion, as an expert in the research area. A reviewer is expected to give a concise report on every section of the manuscript (Abstract, Introduction, Experimental Methods, Results, Discussion, References) as well as give an overall assessment stating whether or not the manuscript is publishable. The review report must be sent by email to the Editor only; the same way the review request was received.
Payment procedure: If an article is considered suitable for publication, author(s) would be expected to pay the open access publication charge of USD 100.00 for submissions from outside Nigeria while NGN 36,000.00 is the fee for submissions made from Nigeria. Payment should be made to the following bank accounts depending on the currency; - Payment in NGN should be made to: First Bank Nigeria plc; Account number 2035297754; Account name – Journal of Pharmacy and Bioresources - Payment in USD should be made to: First Bank Nigeria plc (SWIFT CODE: FBNINGLA); Account number 2035878982; Account name – Journal of Pharmacy and Bioresources

Along with the manuscript, authors are expected to submit a covering letter and a duly completed form containing authors’ Declaration & Copyright Transfer. The covering letter is expected to indicate that the manuscript contains original research work, not previously published and not being currently considered for publication in another journal. Covering letter should also state potential conflicts of interest. If there is none, it should be so stated. The Declaration & Copyright form must be completed, signed by all authors; then the scanned copy or PDF submitted.
Submitted manuscripts are subjected to peer-review to determine their suitability. If an article is considered suitable for publication, author(s) would be expected to pay the open access publication charge of USD 100.00 (NGN 36,000.00). Thereafter the manuscript is sent to reviewers for a more detailed evaluation. Issues arising from the reviewers’ assessment, especially corrections indicated, must be effected by authors before the manuscript is accepted for publication.
Manuscripts should be typed double-spaced on A4 size paper and should be arranged as follows:
(a) For original research/ experimental work – Title page; Abstract; Keywords; Introduction; Experimental; Results; Discussion; Acknowledgement (if any); References; Tables; and Illustrations. (Note that Tables, Figures and other illustration should not be embedded in the Results/ Discussion sections)
(b) For review articles, the format is more flexible but should include the following: Title page; Abstract; Keywords; Introduction; Specific sections determined by the author; Future perspectives and Conclusion; Acknowledgement (if any); References.
A review article should be comprehensive and contain up-to-date information, while covering relevant literature. It is expected that reviews should be written by scientists who have in-depth knowledge of the topic, evidenced by their output in the research area.
Details of different sections of the manuscript.
Title page – should contain the (concise) title of the article; each author’s name in this order: first name in full, middle name (or middle name initial) if any, and surname (in upper case letters); each author’s affiliation and postal address. A footnote should indicate the author to whom correspondence would be addressed. E-mail address and telephone number of the corresponding author should be given.

Malaria and lymphatic filariasis transmitted by female Anopheles mosquitoes remain health challenges in tropical Africa. Resistance by vectors to synthetic insecticides limits control efforts. This study evaluated efficacy of essential oils of Eryngium foetidum and Plectranthus amboinicus against Anopheles gambiae. Test oils were obtained by hydro-distillation using Clevenger apparatus. From 1 mL stock solution, 31.25, 62.50, 125 and 250 and 500 μL/mL concentrations of E. foetidum and P. amboinicus oils were prepared using serial-dilution with tween 80 as diluent. Each concentration had eighty adult mosquitoes exposed. Results of knockdown and insecticidal tests after 30 and 60 minutes respectively revealed higher susceptibility of An. gambiae to E. foetidum. Eryngium foetidum (250μL/mL) elicited 100% knockdown after 20 minutes. In the insecticidal test, the same concentration resulted in 100% mortality at 40 minutes. Same effect was observed for 500 μL/mL of P. amboinicus oil at 25 and 60 minutes. From Probit analysis, KD50 values were 66.793 and 251.350 μL/mL for E. foetidum and P. amboinicus respectively. Values for LC50 were 85.818 and 428.663 μL/mL for E. foetidum and P. amboinicus respectively. Results demonstrate that E. foetidum oil holds promise as control agent against An. gambiae. Plectranthus amboinicus oil did not demonstrate appreciable efficacy.

This study evaluated efficacy of essential oils of Eryngium foetidum and Plectranthus amboinicus against Anopheles gambiae. Test oils were obtained by hydro-distillation using Clevenger apparatus. From 1 mL stock solution, 31.25, 62.50, 125 and 250 and 500 μL/mL concentrations of E. foetidum and P. amboinicus oils were prepared using serial-dilution with tween 80 as diluent. Each concentration had eighty adult mosquitoes exposed. Results of knockdown and insecticidal tests after 30 and 60 minutes respectively revealed higher susceptibility of An. gambiae to E. foetidum. Eryngium foetidum (250μL/mL) elicited 100% knockdown after 20 minutes. In the insecticidal test, the same concentration resulted in 100% mortality at 40 minutes.

Values for LC50 were 85.818 and 428.663 μL/mL for E. foetidum and P. amboinicus respectively. Results demonstrate that E. foetidum oil holds promise as control agent against An. gambiae. Plectranthus amboinicus oil did not demonstrate appreciable efficacy.
