A Metabolic Dependency for Host Isoprenoids in the Obligate Intracellular Pathogen Rickettsia parkeri Underlies a Sensitivity to the Statin Class of Host-Targeted Therapeutics. [PDF]

, 2019
Gram-negative bacteria in the order Rickettsiales have an obligate intracellular growth requirement, and some species cause human diseases such as typhus and spotted fever.

The Effect of Climate Change on Emergence and Evolution of Zoonotic Diseases in Asia

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 72, Issue 7, Page 587-611, November 2025.
ABSTRACT As the climate of Asia changes under the influence of global warming, the incidence and spatial distribution of known zoonoses will evolve, and new zoonoses are expected to emerge as a result of greater exposure to organisms which currently occur only in wildlife.

Causes of non-malarial fever in Laos: a prospective study [PDF]

, 2013
Background Because of reductions in the incidence of Plasmodium falciparum malaria in Laos, identifi cation of the causes of fever in people without malaria, and discussion of the best empirical treatment options, are urgently needed.

Variation in Small Mammal Species Composition and the Occurrence of Parasitic Mites in Two Landscapes in a Scrub Typhus Endemic Region of Western Yunnan Province, China

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.
Yunnan Province, the most serious scrub typhus endemic areas in China, provides abundant ecological resources that sustain parasite and host populations. The distribution of vector‐borne diseases is driven by interactions between hosts, vectors and the environment, revealing critical ecological dynamics.

The Endosymbiont Consortia of Two Cixiidae Planthoppers Reveal an Ancient Symbiosis With ‘Candidatus Mirabilia Symbiotica’

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 17, Issue 5, October 2025.
Many insects harbour ancient beneficial endosymbionts that produce essential nutrients. Two planthopper species from the Cixiidae family harbour different tripartite endosymbiont consortia, including a previously unknown and likely ancient Gammaproteobacterium in addition to Karelsulcia and Vidania.

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.

Broad-coverage molecular epidemiology of Orientia tsutsugamushi in Thailand [PDF]

Infection, Genetics and Evolution, 2013
Orientia tsutsugamushi, an obligate intracellular bacterium closely related to the genus Rickettsia, is the causative agent of scrub typhus, a major cause of febrile illness in rural areas of Asia-Pacific region. Scrub typhus is transmitted by the bite of infected mites of the genus Leptotrombidium.

CD8+ T cells provide immune protection against murine disseminated endotheliotropic Orientia tsutsugamushi infection. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2017
Scrub typhus, caused by a Gram-negative obligately intracellular coccobacillus, Orientia tsutsugamushi, is a long neglected but important tropical disease. Orientia tsutsugamushi causes illness in one million people each year, and 1 billion people are at
