目的
记录德顿族民族医学在疟疾预防和治疗方面的理念与实践。
方法
本研究是一项采用民族植物学和人类学方法的实地研究。于2017年4月至12月在定居于贝卢和马拉卡区的德顿族人群中开展。共有94名信息提供者参与了半结构化访谈和讨论，这些信息提供者包括公共治疗师、家庭治疗师和传统药物使用者。

德顿族拥有当地知识，认为疟疾是由影响人体寒热平衡的自然因素引起的。疟疾的预防和治疗旨在维持和恢复人体的寒热平衡。他们使用各种当地药用植物治疗疟疾，方式包括饮用、沐浴、按摩、吸入和敷贴。所使用的植物经科学证明具有作为真正抗疟药和/或间接抗疟药的药理活性。
结论
德顿族在疟疾方面的民族医学实践被证明包含科学真理，尽管它是基于与疟疾真正病因不同甚至相反的概念构建的。
