The First Report on Cat Flea (Ctenocephalides felis), a Zoonotic Haematophagous Insect Infestation in Humans in Bangladesh: A Case Report and Literature Review

open access: yesVeterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 6, November 2025.
An 18‐year‐old girl who didn't have any pets but was infested with fleas from a pet‐owning neighbour. Flea‐bite dermatitis caused severe pruritus, urticarial and papulomatous lesions on the neck and arm. Fleas were removed and identified as Ctenocephalides felis, the cat flea.

Behaviour and Dispersal of Mobile Salmon Lice When Detached From the Host

open access: yesJournal of Fish Diseases, Volume 48, Issue 11, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Sea lice can flourish when salmon are farmed in open sea‐cages, necessitating treatments to control outbreaks and reduce larval export. However, mobile ectoparasitic stages can be dislodged during crowding or other procedures, and potentially reinfest farmed or wild fish.

Role of the Setae in an Ectoparasitic Seal Louse in Reducing Surface Drag: Numerical Modeling Approach

open access: yesAdvanced Theory and Simulations, Volume 8, Issue 10, October 2025.
The seal louse Echinophthirius horridus has uniquely shaped setae that may reduce drag during its host's dives. Using numerical simulations, this study demonstrates that their natural inclination promotes vortex formation, minimizing friction and energy loss. These findings provide insights into biological surface adaptations and may inspire the design

Neandertal Cold Adaptation: Technological, Anatomical, and Physiological Responses to Cold Stress in One of Our Closest Fossil Relatives

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Human Biology, Volume 37, Issue 10, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Neandertals occupied western Eurasia for over 100 000 years, repeatedly enduring climates that ranged from seasonally cold to glacial. This paper reexamines the question of Neandertal cold adaptation using updated fossil, physiological, and archaeological evidence.

Redefining drug‐resistant epilepsy: Insights from an Italian Delphi consensus study

open access: yesEpilepsia Open, Volume 10, Issue 5, Page 1311-1322, October 2025.
Abstract Objective Drug‐resistant epilepsy (DRE) affects approximately one‐third of people with epilepsy (PwE) despite advancements in anti‐seizure medications and presents significant challenges in epilepsy care. This Delphi consensus study aimed to examine key aspects of DRE, including its definition, predictors, and therapeutic strategies. Methods A
