Abstract
Research on the ethnobotany of Mestizos in Suni Miraņo in 1994 documented 60 plant species used for medicinal purposes. Some cultural data on traditional healing and etiology were also collected. Of these 60 species, 31 were submitted to antibacterial and antifungal assays in the presence and absence of UV light and a number of species were shown to be active.
