疟疾是一种主要影响非洲大陆的重要寄生虫病。传统医学在莫桑比克非常重要，传统医士在初级保健服务中发挥着关键作用，特别是在农村地区。本文报道了在莫桑比克北方地区莫戈沃拉斯地区进行的民族植物学调查结果。我们记录并确定了传统治疗师用于治疗疟疾的药用植物，以及制备和给药方式。该研究于2015年6月至8月在莫戈沃拉斯的14个村庄进行。十六个传统治疗师进行了半结构式问卷调查。在他们的指导下，我们收集了药用植物，并制备了标本馆标本，这些标本被送到并保存在Eduardo Mondlane大学标本馆进行科学鉴定。我们搜索的信息，在体外和体内研究所引用的植物抗疟原虫活性。Mogovolas区的传统治疗师报告说，他们使用了22个家庭的37种植物治疗疟疾。最常用的物种是Ochna kirkii Oliv。（5篇引文）、Ehretia amoena Klotzsch和Pteleopsis myrtifolia（M. A. Lawson）Engl. & Diels（均引用3次）。这些植物分别属于紫草科、紫草科和使君子科。草药是用叶（22/37），根（18/37），茎皮（16/37）和茎（3/37）制备的。草药的给药基本上是通过口服途径和沐浴进行的。从这项研究中获得的民族植物学数据可以成为进一步化学和药理学研究的起点，旨在确定具有抗疟活性的药用物种，从而为发现新的抗疟物质以及更好地将传统医学纳入国家卫生系统提供见解，特别是在发展中国家，因为卫生系统覆盖面有限。药用植物;疟疾;传统治疗师;莫戈沃拉斯区;莫桑比克;生物科学;寄生虫;天然产物;健康科学;替代医学.
Malaria is an important parasitic disease that affects mostly the African continent. Traditional medicine is very important in Mozambique and traditional healers play a key role in the primary health care services, particularly in rural areas. We aim to report the results of an ethnobotanical survey undertaken in Mogovolas district, northern region of Mozambique. We recorded and identified the medicinal plants used by traditional healers for treatment of malaria, as well as the mode of preparation and administration. The study was conducted in 14 villages from Mogovolas between June and August 2015. Sixteen traditional healers were interviewed using semi-structured questionnaires. Under their guidance, we collected medicinal plants and prepared herbarium specimens that were sent and kept at Eduardo Mondlane University Herbarium for scientific identification. We searched for information on the in vitro and in vivo studies of the cited plants for antiplasmodial activity. Traditional healers from Mogovolas district reported the use of 37 plants to treat malaria, belonging to 22 families. The most used species are Ochna kirkii Oliv. (5 citations), Ehretia amoena Klotzsch and Pteleopsis myrtifolia (M.A.Lawson) Engl. & Diels (both with 3 citations). These plants belong to Ochnaceae, Boraginaceae and Combretaceae families, respectively. The herbal remedies are prepared using leaves (22/37), roots (18/37), stem barks (16/37) and stems (3/37). The administration of the herbal remedies was made essentially by oral route and bathing. The ethnobotanical data resulted from this study can be the starting point for further chemical and pharmacological studies aiming to identify medicinal species with antimalarial activity, thus, open the insights for the discovery of new antimalarial substances, as well as better integration of the traditional medicine into the national health systems, particularly in developing countries, as the health system coverage is limited.
