Melting curve analysis to differentiate Rickettsia spp. and Rickettsia felis

IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2021
Abstract Rickettsiosis, caused by Rickettsia species, is one of the old arthropod-borne illness that commonly found in humans and animals. One of the barriers to rickettsiosis control is the intricacy and time-consuming nature of rickettsiosis laboratory diagnosis.

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.

Rickettsia felis–associated Uneruptive Fever, Senegal

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2010
During November 2008-July 2009, we investigated the origin of unknown fever in Senegalese patients with a negative malaria test result, focusing on potential rickettsial infection. Using molecular tools, we found evidence for Rickettsia felis-associated illness in the initial days of infection in febrile Senegalese patients without malaria.

Prevalence and Sequence Analysis of Vector‐Borne Zoonotic Diseases in Stray Cats in Istanbul

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 5, September 2025.
Istanbul, the largest metropolis in Türkiye, is home to a notable population of stray cats. While cats enrich the city's culture, they can also transmit various diseases, posing diagnostic challenges for clinicians. This study aimed to detect infections in stray cats using PCR and sequencing to identify Ehrlichia, Anaplasma, Bartonella, Hepatozoon ...

Opinion and report of the French Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health & Safety (ANSES) on the assessment of the impact of fox population dynamics on public health

Food Risk Assess Europe, Volume 3, Issue 2, April 2025.
ABSTRACT The Red Fox (Vulpes vulpes) can be hunted as a game species. It may also be listed as a “species likely to cause damage” (ESOD – the acronym in French), for public health reasons among others. Conversely, benefits linked to the presence of foxes are also put forward, such as the predation of rodents carrying zoonotic agents.

Evolution of the Neopsylla hongyangensis Mitogenome: Insights Into the Mitogenomic Evolution of the Orders Siphonaptera and the Phthiraptera

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 3, March 2025.
The Neopsylla hongyangensis is an important medical insect that transmits plague. We sequenced the mitogenome of N. hongyangensis and constructed a phylogenetic tree for the order Siphonaptera. In addition, we explored the mitogenomic evolution of the orders Siphonaptera and Phthiraptera, which both belong to the class Insects, on warm‐blooded animals ...
