Abstract

Leptospirosis is a zoonosis caused by bacteria of the genus Leptospira that affects animals and humans. This disease is usually treated empirically due to its prevalence in precarious areas without basic sanitation. The use of medicinal plants in less industrialized societies has been one of the main therapeutic resources available. Considering the need touse these natural resources to combat leptospirosis in areas of socioeconomic vulnerability, this study aimed to review the literature on the useof plants with medicinal potential in thetreatment of leptospirosis. The results showed that even though leptospirosis is a common disease in communities lacking basic sanitation and economic development, the number of studies on the use of plants with medicinal potential is scarce. Most of these studies comefrom India, and all plants investigated between 2012 and 2020 had antileptospiral action.

药用植物对钩端螺旋体的抑菌活性:文献综述

钩端螺旋体病是一种由钩端螺旋体属细菌引起的人畜共患病，影响动物和人类。由于该病在缺乏基本卫生设施的危险地区流行，因此通常采用经验性治疗。在工业化程度较低的社会中，药用植物的使用一直是可用的主要治疗资源之一。考虑到在社会经济脆弱地区需要利用这些自然资源来对抗钩端螺旋体病，本研究旨在回顾具有药用潜力的植物在治疗钩端螺旋体病方面的文献。结果表明，尽管钩端螺旋体病在缺乏基本卫生设施和经济发展的社区是一种常见疾病，但关于具有药用潜力的植物利用的研究数量很少。这些研究大多来自印度，2012年至2020年期间调查的所有植物都具有抗钩体作用。
