Bayesian population‐based assessment of ascertainment bias in flea‐borne typhus surveillance in California, 2011–2019

open access: yesMedical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Although flea‐borne typhus is historically associated with poorer living conditions, FBT surveillance reporting is associated with greater socioeconomic advantage at the population level. FBT surveillance may be biased towards socioeconomic advantage in its ascertainment of surveillance data.

Stable isotope analysis of ectoparasites as a tool for understanding trophic interactions with mammalian hosts

open access: yesMedical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Ectoparasites showed significant δ15N enrichment compared to their hosts, indicating trophic enrichment, but δ13C preservation varied. Lice, fleas and ticks preserve their hosts' isotopic fingerprints to varying degrees, with lice reflecting host dietary patterns most closely, likely due to their exclusive, host‐specific feeding behaviour. The presence
