Genotyping Reveals Potential Sources of Human Leptospirosis Outbreaks in Aotearoa New Zealand
Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 73, Issue 1, Page 54-64, February 2026.ABSTRACT Introduction The introduction of PCR testing for leptospirosis in Aotearoa New Zealand has reduced the availability of serotyping data, and current diagnostic PCRs do not routinely genotype Leptospira. This study genotyped Leptospira from PCR‐confirmed human cases between 2016 and 2023 and compared them with genotypes found in animals to ...

Receptor‐Dependent and ‐Independent Effects of Hemin on Platelet Plasma Membrane Disintegration
The FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 2, 31 January 2026.Microhemorrhages lead to the release of erythrocytes, which are then degraded and lysed. These hemolyses result in the liberation of free iron‐containing hemin. Hemin induces platelet activation and ferroptosis. Inhibition of GPVI/CLEC‐2 receptor‐mediated ITAM‐signaling inhibits hemin‐induced platelet activation (low hemin concentrations). Deferoxamine,
