Resumo: Medicinal use of insects in the county of Pedra Branca, Santa Terezinha, Bahia, Brazil. This paper deals with the use of insects as medicinal resources by inhabitants of the county of Pedra Branca, which is located in the interior of Bahia State, northeastern Brazil. The survey was carried out from February to May 2001 by conducting open-ended interviews with 52 informants of both sexes, aged over 30. The value of each of the entomotherapeutic resources was estimated through its relative importance (RI), a versatility measure. A total of 27 kinds of insects was recorded as being medicinally useful in the treatment of locally diagnosed illnesses and symptoms. The order Hymenoptera was predominant, with 12 kinds represented. The recording of the usage of medicinal insects in this locality provides a relevant contribution to the phenomenon of zootherapy. Biochemical and pharmacological studies are needed to promote the development of new drugs for the improvement of human health.

O estudo foi feito no período de fevereiro a maio de 2001, realizando-se entrevistas abertas com 52 informantes de ambos os sexos e com idades acima dos 30 anos. O valor de cada recurso entomoterapéutico foi estimado através da importância relativa (IR), uma medida de versatilidade. Um total de 27 tipos de insetos foi registrado como medicinalmente utilizáveis no tratamento de doenças e sintomas localmente diagnosticáveis. A ordem Hymenoptera prevaleceu com 12 tipos representados. O registro da utilização medicinal de insetos nesta localidade fornece uma contribuição relevante ao fenômeno da zooterapia. Sugere-se a realização tanto de estudos bioquímicos quanto farmacológicos para promover o desenvolvimento de novas drogas para melhorar a saúde humana.Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina2005-01-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/biotemas/article/view/21470Biotemas; v. 18 n. 1 (2005); 113-1332175-79250103-1643reponame:Biotemas (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCporhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/biotemas/article/view/21470/19426Copyright (c) 2005 Eraldo Medeiros Costa Neto, Josué Marques Pachecohttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCosta Neto, Eraldo MedeirosPacheco, Josué Marques2022-11-21T11:22:59Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/21470Revistahttp://www.biotemas.ufsc.br/index.htmPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/biotemas/oai||carlospinto@ccb.ufsc.br2175-79250103-1643opendoar:2022-11-21T11:22:59Biotemas (Online) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)false
