Adherence to and Invasion of Host Cells by Spotted Fever Group Rickettsia Species

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2010
The pathogenic lifecycle of obligate intracellular bacteria presents a superb opportunity to develop understanding of the interaction between the bacteria and host under the pretext that disruption of these processes will likely lead to death of the ...

A Seven‐Year Retrospective Study on the Epidemiology of Cutaneous Adverse Drug Reactions in Hospitalized Patients From Southern Iran: A Cross‐Sectional Study

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Cutaneous adverse drug reactions (CADRs) represent a significant clinical challenge, ranging from mild to life‐threatening conditions such as Stevens‐Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrosis (TEN). This study aims to evaluate the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of CADRs in patients admitted to a tertiary ...

Can landscape management provide disease regulation services? A case study of Brazilian spotted fever incidence

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 10, October 2026.
Policy implications. Our results can help prioritize surveillance strategies and the implementation of preventive measures, particularly in areas where landscape structures cannot provide disease regulation services. Landscape management actions aimed at increasing the amount of forest areas in a more aggregated manner could help restore those ...

‘Reservoir dogs’: The emerging zoonotic risk associated with European dog imports to the UK

Veterinary Record, Volume 199, Issue 5, Page e238-e249, 5/12 September 2026.
Abstract Background The movement of dogs from continental Europe to the UK poses a growing public health threat due to the associated risk of disease incursions. Current legislation is insufficient to address the risks and pre‐import control measures are focused only on rabies virus and the fox tapeworm Echinococcus multilocularis. Methods We conducted

Solar farms can mitigate negative impacts of whiplash weather on plant communities in a dryland ecosystem

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1778-1791, September 2026.
Utility‐scale solar energy (USSE) development generates novel questions regarding coupling clean energy production with terrestrial ecosystem services (e.g., forage production, pollinator support). We found that a USSE array sited in a fallowed cropland maintained a reseeded native plant community even a decade post‐restoration and that the array ...
