First molecular evidence of Rickettsia spp. in Triatoma rubrofasciata: implications for vector ecology and zoonotic transmission

Parasites & Vectors
Background Rickettsia is an emerging global pathogen with incompletely understood transmission cycles. While triatomine bugs are established vectors for Trypanosoma cruzi, their potential role in the ecology of Rickettsia spp. remains unexplored.

Diversity of lice and flea‐ and lice‐borne pathogens in free‐ranging dogs in Uzbekistan

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 39, Issue 1, Page 216-222, March 2025.
Lice (Trichodectes canis, Linognathus africanus and Bovicola bovis) and fleas were collected from dogs across five regions of Uzbekistan and subjected to molecular analysis. Molecular screening detected Dipylidium caninum and Bartonella spp. in fleas, while Rickettsia spp. were identified in both fleas and lice.

Phylogenetic analysis of the rompB genes of Rickettsia felis and Rickettsia prowazekii European-human and North American flying-squirrel strains. [PDF]

, 2000
The rickettsial outer membrane protein B (rompB) gene encodes the major surface antigens of Rickettsia species. We undertook sequencing and molecular analysis of the rompB gene of Rickettsia felis and a comparison with its homologs in spotted fever group

Rickettsiosis Infections in Sarawak: Epidemiological Insights and Public Health Strategies

Canadian Journal of Infectious Diseases and Medical Microbiology, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Rickettsiosis infections pose a significant public health concern in Sarawak, Malaysia. Despite their importance, these infections remain poorly recognised, under‐researched and inadequately documented within the context of the Sarawak region. This comprehensive evaluation seeks to address this knowledge gap by providing an in‐depth analysis of ...

Pet and Stray Dogs’ Contribution to Zoonotic Transmission Pathways: A Bibliometric Review

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Based on a large‐scale bibliometric dataset, domestic dogs (Canis lupus familiaris) emerge as the most frequently cited host species in the context of zoonoses, being mentioned in at least 10% of publications for nearly a quarter of the pathogens recognized as zoonotic to humans.
