Laboratory Diagnostics of Rickettsia Infections in Denmark 2008–2015 [PDF]

Biology, 2020
Rickettsiosis is a vector-borne disease caused by bacterial species in the genus Rickettsia. Ticks in Scandinavia are reported to be infected with Rickettsia, yet only a few Scandinavian human cases are described, and rickettsiosis is poorly understood ...

Prevalence of tick-borne pathogens in ixodid ticks collected from domestic animals in southeast Iran [PDF]

New Microbes and New Infections
Background: Tick-borne pathogens (TBPs) pose a significant threat to livestock production in Kerman Province, Iran. Despite the high prevalence of TBPs, our understanding of specific pathogens circulating within local tick populations remains limited ...

Orientia, rickettsia, and leptospira pathogens as causes of CNS infections in Laos: a prospective study

The Lancet Global Health, 2015
Background: Scrub typhus (caused by Orientia tsutsugamushi), murine typhus (caused by Rickettsia typhi), and leptospirosis are common causes of febrile illness in Asia; meningitis and meningoencephalitis are severe complications.

Endosymbiont Infections in Korean Insects: Patterns Across Orders and Habitat Types [PDF]

Insects
Endosymbiotic bacteria influence the ecology and evolution of insects through complex associations within host cells. To explore how these relationships vary among environments and taxa, we examined 1028 insect specimens from 14 orders across Korea for ...

Investigation of multiple infections with zoonotic pathogens of rodents in northern Vietnam

Journal of Vector Borne Diseases, 2021
Background & objectives: Rodents are important reservoir hosts for several zoonotic pathogens such as Rickettsia, Leptospira and Bartonella. Studies on the prevalence of zoonotic pathogens in Vietnam are data deficient, and there is a scarcity of data on
