To document the use of animal species in traditional medicine from the municipality of Mapimi, Durango, México.
Direct interviews were performed in several short visits with inhabitants from the municipality of Mapimi, Durango. The interviews were analyzed with two quantitative tools. The informant consensus factor that estimates the level of agreement between interviewees over which animals to use for each category and the fidelity level which indicates the percentage of informants claiming the use of a certain animal species for the same medicinal purpose.
A total of 18 animal species, belonging to 17 families and four taxonomic categories, were reported by interviewees as used for medicinal purposes. Thirteen medicinal species were identified not previously reported. The results of the informant consensus factor showed that the dermatological, diabetes and reproductive categories had the greatest agreement. The most important species according to their fidelity level are: Mephitis macroura and Crotalus atrox.
This study demonstrates that many animal species play an important role in healing practices among inhabitants from Mapimi, Durango. Further experiments with medicinal fauna from Mapimi are needed to be carried out to obtain experimental information about their traditional uses, especially with C. atrox.
记录墨西哥杜兰戈州马皮米市传统医学中使用的动物物种。
在多次短暂访问中对马皮米市的居民进行了直接访谈。使用两种定量工具对访谈进行了分析。信息共识因子用于估计受访者在每种类别中使用哪些动物的一致性水平，而保真度水平则表示声称出于相同药用目的使用某种动物物种的受访者的百分比。
受访者共报告了 18 种动物物种，属于 17 个科和四个分类类别，用于药用目的。确定了 13 种以前未报告的药用物种。信息共识因子的结果表明，皮肤病学、糖尿病和生殖类别具有最大的一致性。根据保真度水平，最重要的物种是：麝香鼬和响尾蛇。
本研究表明，许多动物物种在杜兰戈州马皮米市居民的治疗实践中发挥着重要作用。需要对马皮米的药用动物群进行进一步的实验，以获得有关其传统用途的实验信息，尤其是响尾蛇。
