  abstract = {{M}embers of the {C}urcuma plant species ({Z}ingiberaceae) have been used for centuries in cooking, cosmetics, staining and in traditional medicine as "omnipotent" remedies. {H}erbal preparations made with, and molecules extracted from, {C}urcuma have been shown to possess a wide variety of pharmacological properties against malignant proliferation, hormonal disorders, inflammation, and parasitosis among other conditions. {T}his review evaluates {C}urcuma and its associated bioactive compounds, particularly focusing on studies examining the parasiticidal activity of these components against the tropical parasites {P}lasmodium, {L}eishmania, {T}rypanosoma, {S}chistosoma and more generally against other cosmopolitan parasites ( nematodes, {B}abesia, {C}andida, {G}iardia, {C}occidia and {S}arcoptes).},
