Abstract
Research on the ethnobotany of Mestizos in Suni Miraño in 1994 documented 60 plant
species used for medicinal purposes. Some cultural data on traditional healing and
etiology were also collected. Of these 60 species, 31 were submitted to antibacterial
and antifungal assays in the presence and absence of UV light and a number of species
were shown to be active.
