Connaissances et pratiques ethnobotaniques en médecines traditionnelles vétérinaire et humaine au Bénin : similarité ou dissemblance 1175 uses was calculated to evaluate the similarity degree between two types of medicines. Ninety two (92) species of plants involved in the composition of 122 recipes were identified for both types of medicine. Overall, the similarity is quite high between the two types of medicines in terms of plants used (86.69 %) and high in terms of reported uses (65%). Conclusion and Applications of findings: Part of ethnoveterinary knowledge stems from traditional human medicine, and vice versa. Effective plants used in ethnoveterinary medicine could be indicated for the treatment of the same diseases in human in case of similarity of pathogens. Phytochemical, pharmacological and clinical studies should be considered for the effective valorisation of these plants.
