Chimpanzees in Uganda Use Medicinal Plants: A New Study Reveals the Antibacterial and Anti-inflammatory Properties of Their Self-medication Practices

Broke On: Friday, 21 June 2024 Chimpanzees in Uganda's forests have been observed self-medicating with plants containing antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, according to a study published in PLOS One. Researchers from the University of Oxford monitored 51 chimpanzees over four years and found that 88% of the plant extracts inhibited bacterial growth, while 33% had anti-inflammatory properties. The findings could aid in developing new medicines for chronic inflammatory diseases and antibiotic-resistant bacteria. However, the researchers emphasized the urgent need to preserve these forest pharmacies for future generations.
