Seroconversions for Coxiella and Rickettsial Pathogens among US Marines Deployed to Afghanistan, 2001–2010

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2016
We assessed serum samples from 1,000 US Marines deployed to Afghanistan during 2001–2010 to find evidence of 4 rickettsial pathogens. Analysis of predeployment and postdeployment samples showed that 3.4% and 0.5% of the Marines seroconverted for the ...

Drug Design and Delivery for Intracellular Bacteria: Emerging Paradigms

Drug Development Research, Volume 86, Issue 8, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Intracellular bacteria exploit host cell niches, such as lysosomes, phagosomes, cytosol, entire cells, and even erythrocytes, to evade immune clearance and escape conventional antibiotics. These environments pose numerous therapeutic challenges, including crossing host cell membranes, navigating endosomal trafficking, tolerating acidic and ...

Comparative Genomics of the Endosymbiont Cardinium Causing Reproductive Manipulation in Encarsia Parasitoid Wasps

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 14, Issue 6, December 2025.
We assembled four Cardinium hertigii draft genomes: cEina3 causes cytoplasmic incompatibility, cEhis1 induces parthenogenesis, cEper2 is associated with parthenogenesis, and cEina2 infects asymptomatically. All four strains are closely related and hosted by Encarsia parasitoid wasps, but key differences exist, including their metabolic potential and ...

Amblyomma imitator Ticks as Vectors of Rickettsia rickettsii, Mexico

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2010
Real-time PCR of Amblyomma imitator tick egg masses obtained in Nuevo Leon State, Mexico, identified a Rickettsia species. Sequence analyses of 17-kD common antigen and outer membrane protein A and B gene fragments showed to it to be R. rickettsii, which

Time series model based on global structure of complete genome [PDF]

, 2000
A time series model based on the global structure of the complete genome is proposed. Three kinds of length sequences of the complete genome are considered. The correlation dimensions and Hurst exponents of the length sequences are calculated.

Insect and Mice Infestations in Gaza Displacement Camps: A Field‐Based Study on Vector‐Borne Diseases Amid the 2023–2025 Gaza War

Public Health Challenges, Volume 4, Issue 4, December 2025.
GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT Conflict‐driven destruction in Gaza has caused water and sanitation collapse, leading to infestations of rodents and insects, escalating public health risks among displaced populations. ABSTRACT The current study investigates the severe environmental and public health impacts resulting from the ongoing conflict in the Gaza Strip ...

The formin FHOD1 and the small GTPase Rac1 promote vaccinia virus actin-based motility [PDF]

, 2013
Vaccinia virus dissemination relies on the N-WASP– ARP2/3 pathway, which mediates actin tail formation underneath cell-associated extracellular viruses (CEVs).

Molecular Detection of Rickettsia felis and Rickettsia bellii in Mosquitoes

Vector Borne and Zoonotic Diseases, 2019
To add to the limited information on Rickettsia in mosquitoes in China, we carried out a PCR survey on convenience samples of 3051 mosquitoes collected with hand nets in and around domestic dwellings in 25 provinces.
