“…Only 66 species that were identified to species level were taken into consideration for the purpose. The high degree of similarity index in the Congo area was with the study of Shalukoma et al [27], Mangambu, Aluma, et al [25], with JI values of 10.94, 10.38, Balezi et al [20] and Nyakabwa and Dibaluka [ 46], 8.63 respectively. The lowest degree of similarity index was with Bakwaye et al [39] with JI value of 0.88 (Table 6).…”

“…Previous studies have explored medicinal plants in Sud-Kivu over the last two decades [6,[16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28] However, little is known about ethnobiological researches in Uvira territory and no previous study has surveyed the medicinal plants in plateau and middle plateau of Uvira have been published. Two studies have been carried out in low altitudes of the Uvira territory: Manya et al [29] surveyed anti-malarial herbal of Bukavu and Uvira areas, and Byavu et al [30] focused on ethnoveterinary of cattle.…”

BackgroundThis work increases the ethnomedicinal plants information in the Uvira Territory and, in particular, the middle plateau. Till now little is known about ethnomedicinal researches in Uvira Territory and no previous study has surveyed the medicinal uses of plants in the middle plateau of Uvira Territory. MethodsThe plant uses information survey was collected through a direct interview conducted with 25 local healers in 7 villages. The ethnobotanical information for each species, including scientific name, family, local name, morphological type, plant parts used, preparation, disease name, plant habitat was collected. The conservation status of plant species was checked by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. various quantitative indices (Relative frequency of citation Use Value, Informant consensus factor, Family Importance Value, Pearson’s correlation, Jaccard Index) were calculatedResultsInformation on 69 medicinal plants belonging to 61 genera and 34 families was collected. The total number of species per family showed that Fabaceae, Asteraceae, and Myrtaceae were most represented. Most species were herbs. Leave was the most frequently used part and decoction was the principal preparation method. Significantly higher numbers of medicinal plants were used against digestive system disorders and intestinal parasites. Tetradenia riparia, Syzygium guineense, Morella salicifolia and Erythrina abyssinica were the medicinal plants with the highest UV values. The Pearson correlation coefficient between RFC and UV was 0.95 showing a highly positive significant association. A total of 14 species were recorded as vulnerable.ConclusionThis study was able to show that this area, located in middle plateau of Uvira Territory, can provide a considerable medicinal plant diversity with an heterogenous medicinal importance to the community. With the relative high number of vulnerable species, there is a requirement for a sustainable management for these medicinal plants.

Background Candidiasis, an opportunistic cosmopolitan disease is nowadays like bacterial infections which is a real public health problem. In view of the emergence of Candida strains resistant to existing antifungal agents, alternative solutions should be considered. This is the purpose of this ethnobotanical survey, which aims to identify the medicinal plant species traditionally used to treat candidiasis in traditional markets of southern Benin. Methods The study was performed from October 2015 to January 2018 in the traditional markets of Southern-Benin. Data were collected by two complementary methods: triplet purchase of medicinal recipes (ATRM) from herbalists markets and semi-structured interview (ISS) from traditional healers. Results A total of 109 species of medicinal plants belonging to 44 families have been listed and identified. The most frequently cited species were Pteleopsis suberosa Engl. & Diels, Lantana camara L., Cyanthillium cinereum (L.) H. Rob, Ocimum gratissimum L. and Lippia multiflora Moldenke with respectively 43.84, 39.73 and 34.25% citation frequencies for the last three species respectively. Leguminosae (20.18%), Euphorbiaceae (5.50%) and Apocynaceae (5.50%) were the most represented botanical families. Leafy stems were more used than other plant organs. The decoction and the oral route were the most appropriate methods of preparation and administration reported by traditional healers. Conclusion Benin’s plant cover is made up of a wide variety of medicinal plant species used in the traditionnal treatment of candidiasis and which may constitute new sources of medicines to be developed.

“…In Koupa Matapit the populations reported that some species are becoming rare or extinct, among which are Alchornea cordifolia and Polyscias fulva. None of the both species is mention in the IUCN red list of threatened species; but are listed among useful plants and are mainly used in traditional medicine (Jeruto et al, 2008;Jiofack et al, 2010;Shalukoma et al, 2015). A. cordifolia is frequent in secondary forest and riverine forest; it is especially expended in marshy areas and sometimes in drier sites (Mavar-Manga et al, 2008).…”

This study assesses land cover change of the Koupa Matapit forest gallery, West Cameroon, in relation to anthropogenic factors. Ethnobotanical surveys were conducted to investigate the relationships between the local population and the gallery forest; the spatio-temporal dynamics of the landscapes around the gallery forest were studied from the diachronic analysis of three Landsat TM satellite images of 1984, Landsat ETM + 1999 and Landsat OLI_TIRS of 2016, supplemented by verification missions on field. The satellite images were processed using ArcGIS and Erdas Imagine software. According to surveys, it should be noted that agriculture and livestock are the main economic activities of the population of Koupa Matapit, agriculture and fuel wood collection for energy were the main anthropogenic activities responsible for deforestation and degradation of the forest gallery. The collection of non-timber forest products (NTFPs) would have a significant implication in land use and cover changes. The results indicate that the extension of savannah/agricultural land (from 6989 ha in 1984 to 7604 ha in 2016) and bare soil/built up area (from 71 ha in 1984 to 342 ha in 2016) would have led to the disappearance of much of the forest area (1465 ha in 1984 to 580 ha in 2016). The rapid population growth of Koupa Matapit would be responsible for these pressures. There is an urgent need to implement appropriate land use policy in this area.
