The First Report on Cat Flea (Ctenocephalides felis), a Zoonotic Haematophagous Insect Infestation in Humans in Bangladesh: A Case Report and Literature Review

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 6, November 2025.
An 18‐year‐old girl who didn't have any pets but was infested with fleas from a pet‐owning neighbour. Flea‐bite dermatitis caused severe pruritus, urticarial and papulomatous lesions on the neck and arm. Fleas were removed and identified as Ctenocephalides felis, the cat flea.

Primary and Secondary Symbionts of Cambodian Cicadellidae and the Role of Parasitisation

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 17, Issue 5, October 2025.
Leafhoppers are key agricultural pests, and their interactions with parasitoids may be influenced by microbial symbionts. In this study, we characterized the bacterial communities of six Cambodian leafhopper species and their parasitoids, finding that while Sulcia dominates leafhopper microbiotas, parasitoids exhibit higher microbial diversity.

Phylogenetic diversity of the Rickettsiae [PDF]

Journal of Bacteriology, 1989
Small subunit rRNA sequences have been determined for representative strains of six species of the family Rickettsiaceae: Rickettsia rickettsii, Rickettsia prowazekii, Rickettsia typhi, Coxiella burnetii, Ehrlichia risticii, and Wolbachia persica. The relationships among these sequences and those of other eubacteria show that all members of the family ...

The Etiopathogenesis of Kawasaki Disease: Evolving Understanding of Diverse Triggers

Immunity, Inflammation and Disease, Volume 13, Issue 9, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Background Kawasaki disease (KD) is a leading cause of acquired heart disease in children. Evidence suggests that microbial and nonmicrobial triggers for KD differ across geographical regions and environmental conditions. Although the precise triggers remain unidentified, KD is likely caused by microbial or environmental agents acting on ...

Low Thoracic Muscle Mass: A Novel Indicator of Poor Prognosis in Patients With Severe Fever With Thrombocytopenia Syndrome

Immunity, Inflammation and Disease, Volume 13, Issue 9, September 2025.
Low thoracic muscle mass is associated with adverse outcomes in patients with severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome. Thoracic muscle mass may serve as a reliable prognostic marker for severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome in clinical settings.
