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.

Synthesis, Electrochemistry, In Vitro Antiprotozoal Efficacy and Mechanistic Study of Novel ‘Ferrantoin’ and Related Derivatives

Applied Organometallic Chemistry, Volume 40, Issue 7, July 2026.
1,2‐Disubstituted ferrocene analogues bearing hydantoin or rhodanine synthons were synthesised and assessed for antitrypanosomatid activity. An antileishmanial early lead, analogue 23, acting through ROS generation and hence oxidative stress, was uncovered.
