Abstract	Astonia scholaris is well known for its medicinal properties. Its bark is used for anti-malarial compounds and its leaf is used for treatment of dysentery. It is infested by the insect pathogen causing leaf gall namely Paraupsylla tuberculate. In this article we show for the first time that the latex of Alstonia scholaris has cross-reacting proteins with human pathogens namely HCV, Malaria and these cross-reacting proteins react differentially when infested by the insect pest Paraupsylla tuberculate causing leaf gall. Taking into consideration that plant galls are consumed by certain population, this finding could be important for underlying factor for resistance to certain diseases in certain group of people.
