Rare Infectious Diseases: Detection and Clinical Implications

iLABMED, Volume 3, Issue 2, Page 148-157, June 2025.
Rare infectious diseases are infections that are uncommon, have a low incidence, and are caused by newly emerging pathogens, cross‐species or ectopic infections, or host immunodeficiencies. The detection and diagnosis of rare infections is one of the main reasons for misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis.

Polymerase chain reaction—identification of Dirofilaria repens and Dirofilaria immitis

Parasitology, 1996
SUMMARYOn the basis of known DNA sequences of Dirofilaria repens and D. immitis we designed specific primers for the amplification by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) of the DNA from the two species. The PCR-based identification was found to be unambiguous and allowed specific diagnosis of microfilariae in blood samples, of developing larvae in the ...

Opinion and report of the French Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health & Safety (ANSES) on the assessment of the impact of fox population dynamics on public health

Food Risk Assess Europe, Volume 3, Issue 2, April 2025.
ABSTRACT The Red Fox (Vulpes vulpes) can be hunted as a game species. It may also be listed as a “species likely to cause damage” (ESOD – the acronym in French), for public health reasons among others. Conversely, benefits linked to the presence of foxes are also put forward, such as the predation of rodents carrying zoonotic agents.

Development of Dirofilaria immitis and Dirofilaria repens in Aedes japonicus and Aedes geniculatus [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors, 2017
Background: The mosquito-borne filarial nematodes Dirofilaria immitis and Dirofilaria repens primarily affect dogs but also cats, causing heartworm disease or subcutaneous dirofilariosis, respectively, and both may also cause zoonotic diseases in humans.

Pet and Stray Dogs’ Contribution to Zoonotic Transmission Pathways: A Bibliometric Review

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Based on a large‐scale bibliometric dataset, domestic dogs (Canis lupus familiaris) emerge as the most frequently cited host species in the context of zoonoses, being mentioned in at least 10% of publications for nearly a quarter of the pathogens recognized as zoonotic to humans.

Molecular Discovery of Filarial Nematode DNA in an Endangered Wild Pinniped (Galapagos Sea Lion, Zalophus wollebaeki)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 11, November 2024.
Our research explores to use and optimization of molecular methods for the detection and identification of DNA from filarial nematodes in Galapagos sea lion whole blood samples. We developed an accessible workflow for the genus and species‐level identifications of filarial nematodes present in wildlife DNA samples, and used this assay to test 28 ...
