We carried out a fieldwork among the Wari from southwestern Brazilian Amazon in two villages (Indigenous Land IgarapéLage) since November 2002 to May 2003. Wari ethnoclassification of diarrheal disease shows a general category (honko?), four parallel categories in the same taxonomic level and six subordinate categories according to signs and symptoms of these diseases. There are intersections between the traditional and official medical systems, and both form a complex network of flow and counter flow in the process of health seeking behavior, outlining the therapeutic itinerary. The decision to seek resources for treatment of diarrheal diseases is mainly determined by some signs/symptoms such as bloody stools, vomiting, mucus in the stool and fever, and by causes attributed to illness along the process.  aCultural behavior  aDiarrhea  aDigestive system diseases  aHuman diseases  aIndigenous knowledge  aIndigenous peoples  aMedical treatment  aDiarréia  aDoença  aTratamento  aAmazonia Occidental  aAmazônia Ocidental  aConducta cultural  aConhecimento tradicional  aConocimiento tradicional  aDiarrea  aEnfermedades del sistema digestivo  aEnfermedades humanas  aPokaanóva  aPovo indígena  aPueblos indígenas  aRondônia  aTerra Indígena Igarapé Lage  aTratamientos médicos  aWari´  aWestern Amazon  tScholars Journal of Research in Agriculture and Biologygv. 4, n. 1, p. 283-294, Sept. 2019.
