Le régime alimentaire des Gorilles de plaine de l’Est, Gorilla beringei graueri et la pharmacopée humaine : Alimentation ou automédication ? by Dalley-Divin Kambale Saa-Sita, Shelly Masi, Aimée Lorela Katungu Sawa-Sawa, Jean-Claude Kyungu Kasolene, Jean Malekani Mukulire

“…Chemical, biological and pharmacological properties of those plants could be likely to help great apes healing from different bacteria, viruses and other pathogens. Given both the phylogenetic proximity of great apes and humans and the small proportion of wild plant species known by humans in the tropical forest, the observation of the diet of a species of great apes still very less known, such as the gorillas of the East, could lead to the discovery of new plants that may be useful for human health.…”
