Abstract

Brucellosis is one of the most contagious bacterial diseases of humans, and it continues to constitute a public health problem throughout the world and also in Algeria and developing countries. This problem may have serious consequences for global health.

The aim of this work is to inventory medicinal plants used in the treatment and prevention of brucellosis. Statistical data were collected through a pre-specified questionnaire from 64 people.

The results were evaluated using statistical and quantitative indicators. The results showed the use of 43 medicinal plants belonging to 23 plant families in the treatment and prevention of brucellosis. The most used families were the Asteraceae family with 32%, followed by the Lamiaceae family with 26% and the Liliaceae family with 12%, in addition to The part of the leaves was the most used part at a raté of 46%, and the method of boiling plants with water was the most widely used method of preparation at a raté of 44%. These methods have shown high effectiveness, according to the opinions of the target groups.

Medicinal plants are beneficial to health because they contain therapeutic properties, but they must be combined with prescribed medical medications to be more effective, as using them unwisely may lead to harm because there are not yet studies confirming the extent of their effectiveness and readiness in eliminating Brucellosis.
