Ethnomedicinal practices and medicinal plant knowledge of the Yuracarés and Trinitarios from Indigenous Territory and National Park Isiboro-Sécure, Bolivian Amazon.

摘要: Abstract Aim of the study We investigated ethnomedical practices and knowledge medicinal plant fungus species contemporary Yuracare Trinitario ethnic groups from Indigenous Territory National Park Isiboro-Secure (TIPNIS), located in Bolivian Amazon region. Our aim was to identify culturally most significant families, growth forms species, as well assess current state regarding bioactivity important based on available literature data. Materials methods Medicinal were inventoried during homegarden swidden sampling, walk-in-the-woods transect sampling. Data uses obtained 12 14 participants. Results commence by providing a brief overview systems, highlighting shamanistic component particularly traditional medicine. The rest paper is dedicated an analysis discussion 349 species. Contingency table binomial analyses plants used versus total number per family showed that several families are significantly over (Piperaceae, Araceae, Solanaceae, Asteraceae Siparunaceae) underused (Chrysobalanaceae, Sapotaceae, Lauraceae, Celastraceae Annonaceae) medicine TIPNIS. Also herbaceous overrepresented inventory, which line with relevant literature. ranking according cultural significance Quality Use Agreement Value (QUAV) index we developed presented previous paper. indicate QUAV index's property mainly select combine multiple high informant consensus, justifies its use measure search suggest, other hand, s score could also be indicative bioactivity. Conclusions In addition value tool for assessing it might useful higher likeliness being bioactive.
