Sharing Is Caring?—Pathogens and Pathogen‐Specific Antibodies in Arctic Endemic Seal Species and the Newly Sympatric Harbor Seals in Kongsfjorden, Svalbard

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Climate change associated transformations of Arctic marine ecosystems are having detrimental impacts on Arctic endemic marine mammals. However, warming conditions are providing new habitats for temperate marine mammals, some of which are expanding into Arctic regions, posing a threat of novel pathogen introduction and disease transmission.

Concurrent Scrub Typhus, Dengue, and Leptospirosis: A Rare Triple Co‐Infection: A Case Report and Comprehensive Literature Review

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT In endemic areas, acute undifferentiated febrile illness has a wide differential with overlapping features that can lead to misdiagnosis. Although triple co‐infection with scrub typhus, dengue, and leptospirosis is extremely rare, high clinical suspicion and early detection are vital to avoid delayed treatment, multi‐organ dysfunction, and ...

Genotyping Reveals Potential Sources of Human Leptospirosis Outbreaks in Aotearoa New Zealand

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 73, Issue 1, Page 54-64, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction The introduction of PCR testing for leptospirosis in Aotearoa New Zealand has reduced the availability of serotyping data, and current diagnostic PCRs do not routinely genotype Leptospira. This study genotyped Leptospira from PCR‐confirmed human cases between 2016 and 2023 and compared them with genotypes found in animals to ...
