To assess the knowledge and use of natural pharmacopoeia for the treatment of parasitosis and skin disorders, as well as for the control of their etiological agents or vectors, of a Toba community in Central Chaco, Argentina.
Information was obtained by open, extensive and recurrent interviews and semi-structured surveys. Plant and animal pharmacopoeia was documented by collecting material in field assays carried out in the company of informers. The list of applications with the greatest consensus of uses, the list of species with most medicinal applications and the list of species with the highest reputation (according to the level of fidelity) for the aforementioned disorders were obtained using quantitative methods.
A total of 178 medicinal uses were documented corresponding to 87 species (72 plant and 15 animal species) belonging to 51 different families (39 plant and 12 animal families). The most represented families according to the number of species were Solanaceae (7 species), Asteraceae (6 species) and Fabaceae (5 species) for plants, and Bovidae (3 species) for animals.
Although the list of medicinal species includes some symbolical applications, others are supported by phytochemical information. In other cases the applications coincide with other pharmacopoeias of the Gran Chaco region indicating the presence of an active exchange of knowledge through interethnic contacts.
评估阿根廷中查科地区托巴社区居民对天然药物治疗寄生虫病和皮肤病的认识和使用情况，以及对其病因或传播媒介的控制情况。
通过开放式、广泛和反复的访谈以及半结构化调查获取信息。通过在 informant 的陪同下进行实地试验收集植物和动物药物学方面的资料，以记录植物和动物药物学。利用定量方法得出了具有最大共识的应用清单、具有最多药用应用的物种清单以及具有最高声誉（根据保真度水平）的物种清单，用于上述疾病。
共记录了 178 种药用用途，涉及 87 种物种（72 种植物和 15 种动物物种），属于 51 个不同的科（39 种植物科和 12 种动物科）。根据物种数量，最具代表性的科是茄科（7 种）、菊科（6 种）和豆科（5 种），用于植物，而动物科是牛科（3 种）。
尽管药用物种清单包括一些象征性的应用，但其他应用得到了植物化学信息的支持。在其他情况下，这些应用与大查科地区的其他药物学相一致，表明通过民族间的接触存在着积极的知识交流。
