Mapping the Global Distribution of Babesia Infections
Understanding the ecological niches and quantifying the disease burden of Babesia species is essential for efficient surveillance and control strategies. Through a systematic review of global distributions, we document all 250 identified Babesia species across 73 vector species, 224 animals, and humans.

Virulence factors of Salmonella spp. isolated from free‐living grass snakes Natrix natrix
Our study reveals that free‐living snakes can carry strains of Salmonella species that are resistant to human serum. A comprehensive analysis of the virulence factors of the collected strains, using different methods, identified three distinct virulotypes. These are likely the result of adaptation to a new host or environment.
