  abstract = {{A}im of the study : {A} knowledge attitude and practice study centred on leishmaniasis and its treatment was performed among the {C}hayahuita, in {A}mazonian {P}eruvian ethnic group living in ail endemic area. {T}his study documents traditional {C}hayahuita plant's use and disease concepts. {A}lso, activity of some medicinal {P}lants {U}sed by the {C}hayahuita is highlighted and discussed. {M}aterials and methods: {N}inety-three {C}hayahuita people were interviewed, following a semi-structured questionnaire focussed oil disease knowledge and perception, personal attitude and healing practices. {S}imultaneously, a collection of plants was performed in different ecotopes, in order to make ail extensive inventory of the pharmacopoeia. {R}esults: {F}or the {C}hayahuita, cutaneous ({CL}) and muco-cutaneous leishmaniasis ({MCL}) are considered as diseases of their own, with specific names, aetiologics, mode of transmission. {R}egarding {CL}, {C}hayahuita people consider that the humid characteristic of the {S}kill ulcer is a discriminative fact orienting the diagnostic for {T}a'ta' (leishmaniasis). {F}orty-six different species were designated useful against {LC} and /or {MCL} (29 species by means of the questionnaire and 27 species when collecting in different ecotopes). {T}hirty-seven extracts corresponding to 31 {S}pecies used medicinally were screened in vitro against {L}eishmania amazonensis axenic amastigotes, assessing their viability by the reduction {O}f tetrazolium salt ({MTT}). {S}ix species displayed a good activity (10 mu g/ml < {IC}50 < 20 mu g/ml): all undetermined hemi-epiphytic {C}lusiaceae. {C}ybianthus anthuriophyllus {P}ipoly ({M}yrsinaceae), two {P}iper, {P}iper sanguineispicum {T}rel., and {P}iper loretoanum {T}rel. ({P}iperaceae), {D}esmodium axillare {S}w. {DC}. ({F}abaceae), and {C}libadium sylvestre ({A}ubl.) {B}aill ({A}steraceae). {C}onclusion: {P}erception of leishmaniasis, attitude. treatments and diet prohibitions still largely reflects traditional {C}hayahuita cosmovision, even if some tentative of bio-medical re-interpretation is arising.},
