RESUMEN
La etnobiología estudia las interrelaciones entre el hombre y su ambiente en un contexto dinámico; se destacan los estudios etnomédicos ya que la medicina tradicional aún cuenta con vigencia entre las poblaciones rurales. La etnomedicina de las zonas rurales de Córdoba se encuentra dominada por el uso de plantas y en ello se han centrado históricamente los estudios, sin embargo existen algunos datos sobre el uso de animales o partes de ellos. Mediante 40 encuestas semiestructuradas a pobladores de la zona de Laguna Mar Chiquita, se indaga sobre el uso medicinal de animales y plantas. Se relevó el uso de 68 especies vegetales y 10 animales. Los vegetales se consumen primordialmente en infusiones y su principal uso es para afecciones digestivas; en cambio en los animales se utilizan principalmente las grasas, para realizar fricciones en lesiones osteoartromusculares. Se incluyen listados de las especies utilizadas, trastornos tratados, consideraciones sobre el uso y análisis comparativos entre ambos grupos biológicos.
