What is Plants used for the treatment of diarrhoea from Mexican flora with amoebicidal and giadicidal activity, and their phytochemical constituents about?
## Ethnopharmacological relevance: Flora of the mexican region is represented by approximately 30,000 vascular plant species, many of which are used as traditional medicines based on knowledge compiled and refined since ancient times (e.g. cruz-badiano and florentino codexes). the traditional use of plants as medicines, including the treatment of infectious diseases such as diarrhoea, is generally practiced in communities that are geographically isolated or in human settlements where health services are scarce. ## Aim of the study: The aim of this review is to evaluate current research advances in the ethnopharmacology and phytochemistry of mexican medicinal plants exhibiting antiprotozoal activity, used to treat diarrhoea, and to identify the gaps in this research area for future studies. ## Methods: The literature study and compilation of information relied on books and scientific journals from leading electronic databases including scopus, springer, scifinder, isi web of science, pubmed, and google scholar; the topics searched for were antiprotozoal activity, followed by entamoeba histolytica or giardia lamblia. ethnopharmacological data were obtained from books regarding medici
