A popular hypothesis is that the low rate of cases and deaths in the country was attributed to the use of medicinal plants in prevention and treatment. This study aimed to document the plants used for remedial and preventive therapies by the Gabonese population during the COVID-19 pandemic and to pinpoint specific potential plant species that merit further investigation.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Methods:<\/jats:bold> An ethnobotanical survey involving 97 participants was conducted in Libreville. Traditional healers and medicinal plant vendors were interviewed orally using a semi-structured questionnaire sheet, while the general population responded to an online questionnaire format. Various quantitative indexes were calculated from the collected data and included the relative frequency of citation (RFC), use value (UV), informant consensus factor (ICF), relative importance (RI), and popular therapeutic use value (POPUT). One-way ANOVA and independent samples <jats:italic>t<\/jats:italic>-test were used for statistical analyses. <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>-values \u22640.05 were considered significant.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold> The survey identified 63 plant species belonging to 35 families. Prevalent symptoms treated included fever (18%), cough (16%), fatigue (13%), and cold (12%). The demographic data highlighted that 52.58% of male subjects (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &amp;gt; 0.94) aged 31\u201344 years were enrolled in the survey, of which 48.45% (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &amp;lt; 0.0001) and 74.73% (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &amp;lt; 0.99) of informants had university-level education. In addition, the results indicated that a total of 66% of the informants used medicinal plants for prophylaxis (34%), for both prevention and treatment (26%), exclusively for treatment (3%), and only for prevention (3%) while suffering from COVID-19, against 34% of the participants who did not use plants for prevention or treatment. <jats:italic>Annickia chlorantha, Citrus<\/jats:italic> sp.<jats:italic>, Alstonia congensis, Zingiber officinale,<\/jats:italic> and <jats:italic>Carica papaya<\/jats:italic> emerged as the most commonly cited plants with the highest RFC (0.15\u20130.26), UV (0.47\u20130.75), and RI (35.72\u201345.46) values. Most of these plants were used either individually or in combination with others.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusion:<\/jats:bold> The survey reinforces the use of traditional medicine as a method to alleviate COVID-19 symptoms, thereby advocating for the utilization of medicinal plants in managing coronavirus infections.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fphar.2024.1393636","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,5]],"date-time":"2024-07-05T07:28:52Z","timestamp":1720164532000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Medicinal plants used in Gabon for prophylaxis and treatment against COVID-19-related symptoms: an ethnobotanical survey"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Marlaine Michel","family":"Boukandou Mounanga","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Annais","family":"Mezui","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ludovic","family":"Mewono","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jean Bertrand","family":"Mogangu\u00e9","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sophie","family":"Aboughe Angone","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"5155","DOI":"10.26538\/tjnpr\/v7i11.18","article-title":"Molecular docking and pharmacokinetics studies of Syzygium aromaticum compounds as potential SARS-CoV-2 main protease inhibitors","volume":"7","author":"Abdelli","year":"2023","journal-title":"Trop.
