When local phytotherapies meet biomedicine. Cross-sectional study of knowledge and intercultural practices against malaria in Eastern French Guiana

G. Odonne et al.

Summary: Residents in French Guiana's SGO rely on traditional phytotherapies and pharmaceutical drugs to treat malaria. This medical pluralism should be understood as a form of pragmatism: people collect or cultivate plants for medicinal purposes, which is more congruent with their respective cultures and shows a desire for independence in the care process. A better consideration of these practices is necessary to improve public health response to malaria.

Community knowledge, attitudes and practices towards malaria in Ha-Lambani, Limpopo Province, South Africa: a cross-sectional household survey

Mukhethwa Munzhedzi et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates that participants have appropriate knowledge about malaria transmission and a positive treatment-seeking behavior. However, economic barriers are responsible for the inadequate use of bed nets. Therefore, distribution of bed nets to the community should be considered to improve practice of malaria prevention measures. Furthermore, knowledge of signs and symptoms and appropriate malaria treatment was limited, and initiatives to improve awareness on these topics should be continued.

Nuya kankantawa (we are feeling healthy): Understandings of health and wellbeing among Shawi of the Peruvian Amazon

Alejandra Bussalleu et al.

Summary: The study characterizes the Indigenous Shawi communities' understanding of health, which extends beyond physical welfare to emotional, collective, and environmental wellbeing. Shawi perceptions of health are influenced by factors such as providing for family, maintaining positive social relationships, and living harmoniously with the natural environment. This highlights the differences between biomedical and Indigenous Shawi health understandings and underscores the importance of embracing Shawi culture and beliefs within the formal healthcare system.
