New geographical records for tick‐borne pathogens in ticks collected from cattle in Benin and Togo
A total of 396 ticks were collected from cattle between 2019 and 2020, and divided in pools (two to six ticks per pool) for molecular screening. The present study highlights the presence of zoonotic agents in ticks collected from cattle in Benin and Togo.

Characterization of the infectious reservoir of malaria with an agent-based model calibrated to age-stratified parasite densities and infectiousness [PDF]
Background Elimination of malaria can only be achieved through removal of all vectors or complete depletion of the infectious reservoir in humans. Mechanistic models can be built to synthesize diverse observations from the field collected under a variety of conditions and subsequently used to query the infectious reservoir in great detail.

Coinfection with Coxiella burnetii in infectious endocarditis [PDF]
Currently, most cases of Q fever endocarditis are diagnosed serologically, when levels of anti-phase I antibodies are ‡1:800 [1]. In Marseille, France, we proposed a systematic serological testing for all pathogens that could cause negative blood culture IE for all patients suspected to have IE.

Oral flora of domestic cats in Hong Kong: Identification of antibiotic‐resistant strains
Abstract Background As the clinical outcome of bite‐associated infection is related to the oral commensals, evaluating their composition and antibiotic susceptibility pattern can provide more information for the antibiotic treatment of wound infections and increase the awareness of the multidrug‐resistant bacteria in cat oral flora. Aims This study was

Analysis of multi‐institutional data and benchmarking is an accepted accreditation standard in cardiac surgery. Such a database does not exist for congenital cardiac surgery in Australia and New Zealand (ANZ). To fill this gap, the ANZ Congenital Outcomes Registry for Surgery (ANZCORS) was established in 2017.
