Survey of vector-borne agents in feral cats and first report of Babesia gibsoni in cats on St Kitts, West Indies [PDF]

, 2017
Background: As there is little data on vector-borne diseases of cats in the Caribbean region and even around the world, we tested feral cats from St Kitts by PCR to detect infections with Babesia, Ehrlichia and spotted fever group Rickettsia (SFGR) and

Functional study of Phaeodactylum tricornutum Seipin highlights specificities of lipid droplets biogenesis in diatoms

New Phytologist, Volume 247, Issue 5, Page 2245-2269, September 2025.
Summary Diatoms are a major phylum of microalgae, playing crucial ecological roles. They derive from secondary endosymbiosis, leading to a complex intracellular architecture. Their ability to store oil in lipid droplets (LDs) upon unfavourable conditions has raised interest for applications, in particular biofuels, yet Lipid Droplet (LD) biogenesis ...

Comparative Analysis of Gastrointestinal Bacteria in Ctenocephalides felis and Ctenocephalides canis: Biochemical Traits, Antibiotic Resistance, and 16S rRNA Identification

Journal of Pure and Applied Microbiology
Fleas of the genus Ctenocephalides that infest cats and dogs are known to harbor various pathogenic bacteria with potential zoonotic importance. This study aimed to isolate, characterize, and identify bacterial species from the gastrointestinal tracts of

Atypical Presentation of Cat‐Scratch Disease in a 30‐Year‐Old Female: A Case Study

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 7, July 2025.
ABSTRACT Cat‐scratch disease (CSD) is a zoonotic infection caused by the Gram‐negative bacterium Bartonella henselae, typically transmitted through the scratch or bite of a cat. This case report highlights an atypical presentation of CSD in a 30‐year‐old female pet groomer with prolonged fever, fatigue, and axillary lymphadenopathy.

Evolution of the Neopsylla hongyangensis Mitogenome: Insights Into the Mitogenomic Evolution of the Orders Siphonaptera and the Phthiraptera

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 3, March 2025.
The Neopsylla hongyangensis is an important medical insect that transmits plague. We sequenced the mitogenome of N. hongyangensis and constructed a phylogenetic tree for the order Siphonaptera. In addition, we explored the mitogenomic evolution of the orders Siphonaptera and Phthiraptera, which both belong to the class Insects, on warm‐blooded animals ...

Diversity of lice and flea‐ and lice‐borne pathogens in free‐ranging dogs in Uzbekistan

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 39, Issue 1, Page 216-222, March 2025.
Lice (Trichodectes canis, Linognathus africanus and Bovicola bovis) and fleas were collected from dogs across five regions of Uzbekistan and subjected to molecular analysis. Molecular screening detected Dipylidium caninum and Bartonella spp. in fleas, while Rickettsia spp. were identified in both fleas and lice.

A crucial active site network of titratable residues guides catalysis and NAD+ binding in human succinic semialdehyde dehydrogenase

Protein Science, Volume 34, Issue 1, January 2025.
Abstract Human succinic semialdehyde dehydrogenase is a mitochondrial enzyme fundamental in the neurotransmitter γ‐aminobutyric acid catabolism. It catalyzes the NAD+‐dependent oxidative degradation of its derivative, succinic semialdehyde, to succinic acid.
