The Role of Foxes in Transmitting Zoonotic Bacteria to Humans: A Scoping Review

Zoonoses and Public Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Zoonotic diseases inflict substantial burdens on human and animal populations worldwide, and many of these infections are bacterial. An Australian study investigating environmental risk factors for Buruli ulcer in humans detected the causative agent, Mycobacterium ulcerans, in the faeces of wild foxes, a novel finding that suggests foxes may ...

Validated LC‐MS/MS Method for Quantifying the Antiparasitic Nitroimidazole DNDI‐0690 in Preclinical Target Site PK/PD Studies

Biomedical Chromatography, Volume 39, Issue 8, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Understanding the target site pharmacokinetics (PK) of the nitroimidazole analog DNDI‐0690, a potential drug for the neglected parasitic disease leishmaniasis, is important due to the diversity of infected tissue sites and potential drug penetration variability.

A Short‐Read Amplicon Sequencing Protocol and Bioinformatic Pipeline for Ecological Surveillance of Dipteran Disease Vectors

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 25, Issue 6, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Vector control remains an important strategy worldwide to prevent human infection with pathogens transmitted by arthropods. Vector control strategies rely on accurate identification of vector taxa along with vector‐specific biological indicators such as feeding ecology, infection prevalence and insecticide resistance.
