Health Assessment in Free‐Living Maned Wolves (Chrysocyon brachyurus) in Paraguay: Report of Three Cases

Case Reports in Veterinary Medicine, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The maned wolf (Chrysocyon brachyurus), the largest canid in South America, inhabits grasslands and dry forests in several countries, including Paraguay, where it faces threats such as habitat loss and fragmentation, roadkill, hunting, diseases transmitted by domestic animals, and fires.

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

Insecticide Resistance in Fleas

Insects, 2016
Fleas are the major ectoparasite of cats, dogs, and rodents worldwide and potential vectors of animal diseases. In the past two decades the majority of new control treatments have been either topically applied or orally administered to the host.

Prevalence and infection load dynamics of Rickettsia felis in actively feeding cat fleas. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2008
Rickettsia felis is a flea-associated rickettsial pathogen recurrently identified in both colonized and wild-caught cat fleas, Ctenocephalides felis. We hypothesized that within colonized fleas, the intimate relationship between R. felis and C.

An Insight into the Sialotranscriptome of the Cat Flea, Ctenocephalides felis

PLoS ONE, 2012
Saliva of hematophagous arthropods contains a diverse mixture of compounds that counteracts host hemostasis. Immunomodulatory and antiinflammatory components are also found in these organisms' saliva. Blood feeding evolved at least ten times within arthropods, providing a scenario of convergent evolution for the solution of the salivary potion. Perhaps

Insect and Mice Infestations in Gaza Displacement Camps: A Field‐Based Study on Vector‐Borne Diseases Amid the 2023–2025 Gaza War

Public Health Challenges, Volume 4, Issue 4, December 2025.
GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT Conflict‐driven destruction in Gaza has caused water and sanitation collapse, leading to infestations of rodents and insects, escalating public health risks among displaced populations. ABSTRACT The current study investigates the severe environmental and public health impacts resulting from the ongoing conflict in the Gaza Strip ...

Prevalence and Sequence Analysis of Vector‐Borne Zoonotic Diseases in Stray Cats in Istanbul

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 5, September 2025.
Istanbul, the largest metropolis in Türkiye, is home to a notable population of stray cats. While cats enrich the city's culture, they can also transmit various diseases, posing diagnostic challenges for clinicians. This study aimed to detect infections in stray cats using PCR and sequencing to identify Ehrlichia, Anaplasma, Bartonella, Hepatozoon ...

The fleas of house mice (Mus musculus L.) and ship rats (Rattus rattus L.) in forest of the Orongorongo Valley, New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 52, Issue 3, Page 239-254, September 2025.
ABSTRACT The ectoparasites of introduced rodents in mainland New Zealand forests include several species of cosmopolitan flea that may be important in the population dynamics and future biocontrol of rodents. We describe a 2‐rodent, 2‐flea system that showed little change over 20 years.

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 ...
