A Multiplex PCR assay for a differential diagnostic of rickettsiosis, Lyme disease and scrub typhus

Journal of Vector Borne Diseases, 2022
Background & objectives: Coexistence of tick-borne diseases in some regions in Latin America makes the diagnosis difficult due to shared initial signs and symptoms. Rickettsiosis, Lyme disease and recently, scrub typhus are gaining more importance.

Diagnostic Value of Neutrophil CD64 in Differentiating Scrub Typhus From Febrile Diseases

Immunity, Inflammation and Disease, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Scrub typhus, lacks specific early symptoms, and traditional serological tests have low sensitivity. This study shows that CD64 has superior diagnostic performance compared to CRP and PCT in bacterial infections. Methods This retrospective study analyzed 242 febrile patients admitted to the Jiangsu Province (Suqian) Hospital ...

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 ...

A comparison of super‐resolution microscopy techniques for imaging tightly packed microcolonies of an obligate intracellular bacterium

Journal of Microscopy, Volume 301, Issue 2, Page 187-205, February 2026.
Abstract Conventional optical microscopy imaging of obligate intracellular bacteria is hampered by the small size of bacterial cells, tight clustering exhibited by some bacterial species and challenges relating to labelling such as background from host cells, a lack of validated reagents, and a lack of tools for genetic manipulation.

In Vitro Bacteriostatic Effects of Rifampin onOrientia tsutsugamushi

Journal of Korean Medical Science, 2014
We performed an in vitro cell culture experiment to ascertain whether rifampin exhibits bactericidal effects against Orientia tsutsugamushi, the causative agent of scrub typhus. ECV304 cells were infected with the Boryong or AFSC-4 strain of O. tsutsugamushi and then, the cultures were maintained in media with increasing concentrations of rifampin ...

Identification of Potential Therapeutic Agents for Primary Amebic Meningoencephalitis Using Text Mining and Bioinformatics Analyses

Analytical Cellular Pathology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Naegleria fowleri, the brain‐eating ameba, causes primary amebic meningoencephalitis (PAM), a fatal infectious disease that affects the central nervous system (CNS). We aimed to evaluate the functions and potential drugs targeting PAM using text mining and bioinformatics analyses.

Surveillance of Zoonotic Pathogens in Small Mammals Across Forests With Different Levels of Anthropization in Eastern France

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The emergence of infectious diseases associated with land‐use changes is well‐documented. However, the presence and dynamics of zoonotic pathogens in small mammals within European forests, whether from rural development or urban greening, remain underexplored.
