Microparasite species richness in rodents is higher at lower latitudes and is associated with reduced litter size [PDF]
, 2011 Parasite species loads are expected to be higher in the tropics and higher parasite species richness to have cumulative effects on host physiology or demography. Despite being regularly assumed or predicted, empirical evidence on specieslatitude patterns

Current and Future Projection of Scrub Typhus Risk Related to Land Use Change in China
GeoHealth, Volume 9, Issue 9, September 2025.Abstract The widespread concern surrounding the enhanced spillover risk of infectious diseases due to dramatic global land use changes has sparked significant discussion. However, the specific implications of these changes on scrub typhus, a vector‐borne infectious disease facing increasing incidence and substantial expansion, remain unclear.

tRNA signatures reveal polyphyletic origins of streamlined SAR11 genomes among the alphaproteobacteria [PDF]
, 2013 Phylogenomic analyses are subject to bias from compositional convergence and noise from horizontal gene transfer (HGT). Compositional convergence is a likely cause of controversy regarding phylogeny of the SAR11 group of Alphaproteobacteria that have ...

Active Escape of Orientia tsutsugamushi from Cellular Autophagy [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 2013 ABSTRACT Orientia tsutsugamushi , the causative agent of scrub typhus, is an obligate intracellular pathogen. After entry into host cells, the bacterium rapidly escapes from the endosomal pathway and replicates in the cytosol of eukaryotic host cells. Here we show that O.
