Addressing Behavioural Determinants of Cutaneous Leishmaniasis Through Community Dialogue in Kalu District, Ethiopia: A Mixed‐Methods Study

Tropical Medicine &International Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is a major public health challenge in Ethiopia, with 20–30,000 new cases annually. Limited awareness and misconceptions contribute to delayed care seeking, stigma, prolonged healing, and reduced uptake of preventive measures in CL‐endemic communities.

Donor management implications for high‐sensitivity detection of low‐level malaria parasitemia in blood donor screening

Transfusion, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Transfusion‐transmitted malaria can occur when donors have unrecognized asymptomatic infection with submicroscopic parasitemia, highlighting the need to detect low‐level parasitemia in blood donor screening. However, these highly sensitive blood donor testing algorithms may refer donors to clinicians who use diagnostic algorithms ...

Public perspectives on potential changes to malaria deferral criteria in Canada

Vox Sanguinis, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Objectives As blood collection agencies (BCAs) seek to increase donor diversity, making changes to eligibility criteria to enable more people to donate is an important consideration. BCAs in Canada have a permanent deferral from whole blood and platelet donation for anyone with a history of malaria, a barrier to donation for ...

Commercial permethrin elicits chemoreceptive responses on different Anopheles gambiae sensory appendages

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 9, Page 8609-8617, September 2026.
Anopheles gambiae mosquitoes exhibit takeoff responses when presented to commercial permethrin headspace. This product elicits electrophysiological activity in the antennae and tarsi. However, only the chemical information acquired from the tarsi plays a major role in the observed behavioral response.

Q Fever in Africa: A Systematic Review of Prevalence, Zoonotic Potential and Disease Burden

Public Health Challenges, Volume 5, Issue 3, September 2026.
Q fever is widespread across Africa, with livestock as the primary source of human infections. Although some prevalence data exist, its economic burden is still lacking. The findings underscore the need for a One Health approach that integrates surveillance, economic assessment and control to reduce the disease burden.

Insufficient duration of insecticidal efficacy of Yahe® insecticide-treated nets in Papua New Guinea

Malaria Journal
Background Insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) are the backbone of anti-malarial vector control in Papua New Guinea (PNG). Over recent years the quality and performance of ITNs delivered to PNG decreased, which has likely contributed to the stagnation in the

A multiplex assay to detect mosquito species, bloodmeal host source and Plasmodium in malaria vectors using Nanopore amplicon sequencing

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 40, Issue 3, Page 465-477, September 2026.
Insectary‐reared mosquitoes were simultaneously assessed for species identification, bloodmeal source analysis and Plasmodium detection, using a single multiplexed sequencing run on the MinION sequencing platform. The method was applied to 150 insectary‐reared mosquitoes, representing nine species blood‐fed with five vertebrate hosts and 40 samples for

Deconstruction of Aspartic Protease Inhibitors Enables Fragment‐Based Discovery of Plasmepsin V Inhibitors

ChemMedChem, Volume 21, Issue 15, 14 August 2026.
A structure‐informed, fragment‐based approach was used to identify non‐peptidomimetic inhibitors of plasmepsin V. Pyrrolidine, piperidine, and piperazine containing fragments showed activity in a FRET assay. The optimization of the pyrrolidine scaffold resulted in N‐sulfonamide analogs with potency up to ~10 µM, establishing a promising scaffold for ...

Breeding and Seed Production of Aquaculture Species in Bangladesh: Current Status, Challenges and Prospects

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Aquaculture has become one of the fastest‐growing food production sectors in Bangladesh and contributes significantly to food security, nutrition, livelihoods and the national economy. In Bangladesh, aquaculture mainly relies on the culture of major carps, catfishes and shrimp, which are also widely farmed across Asia and other parts of the ...
