ANTIPARASITIC PLANTS USED BY THE KANTARURÉ-BATIDA INDIGENOUS COMMUNITY (NE-BRAZIL): ETHNOBOTANY AND LOCAL KNOWLEDGE-EROSION RISKS¹ 1. We are grateful to the Kantaruré-Batida indigenous community, for collaborating in the development of the study; to Bahia State Research Support Foundation (FAPESB - Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado da Bahia) for the financial support to the PET 0018/2013 project and for granting the scholarship to the first author; and to Bahia State University (UNEB - Universidade do Estado da Bahia), for making its infrastructure available.

Resumen

Indígenas tienen una relación intrínseca con la flora empleada en sistemas de curación. Sin embargo, pocos son los datos sobre las plantas usadas para el tratamiento de parásitos intestinales, una de las principales causas de morbimortalidad entre indios. De este modo, este estudio realizó el levantamiento de las plantas antiparasitarias utilizadas por los Kantaruré-Batida y evaluó si hay difusión del conocimiento etno-médico-botánico. Para eso, se utilizaron entrevistas y listados libres. Fueron entrevistados 31 indígenas e citadas 21 especies. La mayoría de los encuestados (91%) adquirió el conocimiento tradicional por transmisión hereditaria y lo difunde (77%) de la misma forma. Sólo 35% utiliza las plantas medicinales como primer recurso de curación y asocian la disminución del uso debido a la influencia y la proximidad de los servicios de salud pública. Por lo tanto, son necesarias acciones para preservar los saberes y la biodiversidad local para el mantenimiento de la terapéutica indígena.
