Prevalence and diversity of Rickettsia species in ectoparasites collected from small rodents in Lithuania

Parasites & Vectors, 2018
Background Rickettsiae are emerging pathogens causing public health problems in many countries around the world. Rickettsia spp. are found in association with a wide range of arthropods which feed on different species of animals.

Assessment of the Risks of Zoonotic Infection at the Primatology Centre of the Interdisciplinary Medical Research Centre of Franceville in Gabon

Journal of Medical Primatology, Volume 53, Issue 5, October 2024.
ABSTRACT Background Non‐human primate (NHPs) conservation sites could be sites of exchange of pathogens involved in infectious diseases. It is important to assess the potential risks associated with this type of structure. The objective of this study was to carry out a risk assessment of the Primatology Centre housed in the Interdisciplinary Centre for

Ecology of <I>Rickettsia felis</I>: A Review [PDF]

Journal of Medical Entomology, 2009
It has been two decades since the first description of Rickettsia felis, and although a nearly cosmopolitan distribution is now apparent, much of the ecology of this unique microorganism remains unresolved. The cat flea, Ctenocephalides felis, is currently the only known biological vector of R. felis; however, molecular evidence of R.

Importance of Common Wall Lizards in the Transmission Dynamics of Tick-Borne Pathogens in the Northern Apennine Mountains, Italy [PDF]

, 2017
During the investigations on ticks and tick-borne pathogens (TBP) range expansion in the Northern Apennines, we captured 107 Podarcis muralis lizards. Sixty-eight animals were infested by immature Ixodes ricinus, Haemaphysalis sulcata and H.

Is dirofilariosis an emerging conservation threat in wild carnivores across the Palearctic?

Mammal Review, Volume 54, Issue 4, Page 427-440, October 2024.
Phylogenetic distribution of Dirofilaria immitis and Dirofilaria repens infection in Palearctic Carnivora species. Abstract Dirofilaria species are mosquito‐borne filarial nematodes, with a high veterinary and public health importance, but growing evidence also indicates their frequent occurrence in wildlife.

Polyarthritis associated with clinical Hepatozoon felis infection in a domestic cat

Veterinary Record Case Reports, Volume 12, Issue 3, September 2024.
Abstract A 10‐year‐old, female, neutered, domestic shorthair cat was referred for evaluation of lethargy and pyrexia, unresponsive to treatment with meloxicam, potentiated amoxicillin and marbofloxacin. Radiographs of the elbows and tarsi revealed marked periosteal reaction and joint effusion.

Horizontal transmission of Rickettsia felis between cat fleas, Ctenocephalides felis

Molecular Ecology, 2011
Rickettsia felis is a rickettsial pathogen primarily associated with the cat flea, Ctenocephalides felis. Although laboratory studies have confirmed that R. felis is maintained by transstadial and transovarial transmission in C. felis, distinct mechanisms of horizontal transmission of R. felis among cat fleas are undefined.
