摘要

传统医学是一种全球性做法,依赖于当地可获得的自然资源和土著知识。自古以来,动物及其制品就被用于各种文化的传统疗法的制备。该研究旨在于2019年9月至2020年7月期间,在埃塞俄比亚西部本尚古尔-古穆兹地区的阿索萨地区,确定并记录动物的传统药物来源和相关的土著知识,以确保自然资源和生物多样性的可持续利用。采用横断面调查设计,收集有关药用动物、使用部位、添加成分、治疗疾病、制备方法、给药方式、剂量和持续时间以及知识转移机制的民族动物学信息。共有38种动物被用作药物来治疗超过35种不同的人类疾病,包括解剖、生理、心理和精神疾病以及兽医治疗。超过15种动物的保真度(FL)超过50%,其中用于治疗恶眼的牛皮保真度最高(n = 35, 92.1%),其次是用于治疗胃病的家马血(n = 32, FL ~ 84.2%),用于治疗咳嗽和眼病的马奶(n = 28, FL ~ 73.7%)。研究区域有多种药用动物,这些动物代表了当地社区的主要医疗选择。记录这种动物源性医学的土著知识和实践有助于制定保护生物多样性的战略。

Ethnozoological Study of Traditional Medicinal Animal Parts and Products Used among Indigenous People of Assosa District, Benishangul-Gumuz, Western Ethiopia
Traditional medicine is a global practice and depends on locally available natural resources and indigenous knowledge. Animals and their products have been used in the preparation of traditional remedies in various cultures since time immemorial. This study aimed to identify and document traditional medicinal sources from animals and associated indigenous knowledge in Assosa Districts, Benshangul Gumuz region, western Ethiopia, from September 2019 to July 2020 to ensure sustainable utilization of natural resources and biodiversity. A cross-sectional survey design was used to collect ethnozoological information with regard to animals used for medicinal purposes, parts used, ingredients added, ailments treated, method of preparation, mode of administration, dosage and duration of treatment, and the mechanisms of knowledge transfer. A total of 38 animal species were used as medicine to treat over 35 different kinds of human diseases including anatomical, physiological, psychological, and spiritual ailments and veterinary treatment. Over 15 animal species were found to score fidelity level (FL) more than 50%, of which the skin of Crocuta crocuta used for the treatment of evil eye had the highest FL (n = 35, 92.1%), followed by the blood of Sus scrofa domestica for treatment of stomach illness (n = 32, FL∼84.2%), the milk of Equus asinus to treat cough and eye disease (n = 28, Fl∼73.7%). The study area harbors diverse medicinal animals that represent key medical alternatives for local communities. The documentation of this indigenous knowledge of animal-derived medicine and the practice helps in developing strategies for conservations of biological diversities.
