Species Composition, Diversity, Abundance, and Phylogeny of Fleas of Small Mammals in Selected Plague‐Endemic and Nonendemic Areas of Tanzania

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
The remerging nature of plague requires detailed understanding of the plague flea vectors and small mammal reservoir interactions. Therefore, this study is aimed at assessing flea vector composition, diversity, prevalence, abundance, and phylogeny in selected villages of Lushoto, Mbulu, and Morogoro Rural districts in Tanzania.

Exploring the Zoonotic Risk of Bartonella henselae: A Serological and Molecular Investigation of Veterinary Personnel and Companion Cats in South Korea

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Bartonella species are known as candidates for zoonotic transmission, and cats serve as the main reservoir for Bartonella henselae, the primary causative agent of cat scratch disease (CSD). However, research on the transmission of bartonellosis to humans remains very limited.

Detection of Dirofilaria repens and Mansonella llewellyni in the United States by Wolbachia Surveillance

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
In mammals, detection of Wolbachia bacteria can be used to diagnose filarial infection, while antibiotic treatment to eliminate Wolbachia can assist in eliminating filarial infections. Because Wolbachia are necessary for survival of several filarioids and closely related to Anaplasma and Ehrlichia, we analyzed Wolbachia DNA amplification by Anaplasma ...

Diversity of Ticks in the Caribbean Region and Detection of Their Pathogens Using BioMark Technology

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Introduction Ticks and the pathogens they transmit are widespread in Caribbean animal populations. There is; however, limited information on the diversity of ticks and tick‐borne pathogens (TTBPs) in the region. This study aims to identify TTBPs across multiple Caribbean countries using a high‐throughput real‐time microfluidic PCR system.
