Background Eastern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is home to a vast range of medicinal and edible waterbird species due to its diverse geographical environment. Waterbird species have been used for various ailments and cultural practices since ancient times, while ethno-pharmacological applications and cultural uses of waterbird species in this area have seldom been documented. This study is the first ethnomedicinal and cultural assessment of waterbird species, and the first compilation and listing of all known data on these species in Eastern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. Methods Interviews and questionnaires were used to collect data from native respondents (N = 100). To analyze the data, principal component analysis (PCA), relative frequency of citation (RFC), fidelity level (FL%), relative popularity level (RPL), rank order priority, and similarity index were used. Results In total, 64 waterbird species were utilized in cultural practices, of which 40 species are used to cure different infectious and chronic diseases such as cold, cough, flu, fever, respiratory disorders, asthma, TB, gastric ulcers, kidney stones, male impotency, obesity, paralysis, piles, cancer, arthritis, body pain, and weakness. PCA showed significant differences in the use of waterbird species among the local inhabitants of the study area, separated along the axis-2 (p < 0.05). The FL% of waterbird species varied from 12 to 100%. 100% FL was analyzed for four waterbird species, i.e., Charadrius mongolus (cold), Gallicrex cinerea (asthma), Anas platyrhynchos (cancer), and Esacus recurvirostris (body weakness). In this study, Mallard (Anas platyrhynchos) was the most popular species used in the healthcare system of Eastern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, with high RFC (4.06), FL% (100), and RPL (1.0) values. Conclusion We concluded that waterbird species are more used for medicine and food purposes in the study area. However, in vitro/in vivo assessment of biochemical activities of waterbird species with a maximum FL% might be significant to produce novel drugs. Recent research shows important ethno-ornithological information about native people and their links with waterbird species, which might be helpful for the sustainable use of waterbird diversity in the research area.

“…Estudos farmacológicos realizados em camundongos apontam a ação anti-inflamatória presente na gordura (banha) das espécies C. durissus e E. sexcinctus (Fereira, et al, 2014). Já em relação à banha de G. gallus domesticus, Dias et al (2018) realizaram testes laboratoriais nos quais não foi possivel perceber ação antibacteriana do material isolado, no entanto, em associação com antiobióticos, a gordura da galinha doméstica apresentou ação sinérgica. Não foram encontrados resultados de testes farmacológicos realizados com as demais espécies citadas.…”

A Etnozoologia analisa a relação entre as comunidades humanas e a fauna local. A zooterapia se destaca como uma de suas subáreas e apresenta as práticas ligadas ao uso de remédios à base de animais. Objetivou-se analisar o uso medicinal de animais e subprodutos em duas comunidades rurais no cerrado nordestino brasileiro. Desenvolveu-se o estudo a partir da aplicação de formulários semiestruturados a 16 famílias de duas comunidades rurais. As espécies com maior número de citações foram: Lycalopex vetulus (raposa), Gallus gallus domesticus (galinha) e o Euphractus sexcinctus (tatu peba). Foi percebido que devido ao contato com a natureza, comunidades humanas desenvolveram saberes acerca da utilização de medicamentos à base de animais para o tratamento de doenças como gripe, asma e inflamações na garganta. Entretanto, a ação antrópica vem causando impactos ambientais negativos como, por exemplo, uma expressiva diminuição na densidade populacional de diversas espécies de animais na natureza.
