HumanRickettsia felisInfection, Canary Islands, Spain

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2005
We report the first cases of human infection by Rickettsia felis in the Canary Islands. Antibodies against R. felis were found in 5 adsorbed serum samples from 44 patients with clinically suspected rickettsiosis by Western blot serology. Fleas from 1 patient's dog were positive for R. felis by polymerase chain reaction.

Selective leaf surface defenses: trichomes trap herbivorous leafminers but spare parasitoid wasps

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 4, Page 4016-4025, April 2026.
Hooked trichomes on kidney bean leaves selectively entrap leafminer flies but rarely affect parasitoid wasps. This morphological barrier enables pest suppression with minimal impact on beneficial insects, offering insights for breeding pest‐resistant cultivars compatible with biological control. Abstract BACKGROUND Leafminers [e.g., Liriomyza trifolii (

Rickettsia sibirica mongolitimonaeInfection, France, 2010–2014

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2016
To further characterize human infections caused by Rickettsia sibirica mongolitimonae, we tested skin biopsy and swab samples and analyzed clinical, epidemiologic, and diagnostic characteristics of patients with a rickettsiosis. The most common (38%) indigenous species was R. sibirica mongolitimonae. Significantly more cases of R.

Spiroplasma Display an Intricate Continuum of Infection Heterogeneity and Persistence in Myrmica Ants

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 7, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Many bacterial taxa evolved facultative symbiotic associations with insects and spread through host populations by horizontal and maternal transmission. Co‐infection at the individual host level may facilitate or constrain the spread of facultative symbionts.

Diagnostic Value of Neutrophil CD64 in Differentiating Scrub Typhus From Febrile Diseases

Immunity, Inflammation and Disease, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Scrub typhus, lacks specific early symptoms, and traditional serological tests have low sensitivity. This study shows that CD64 has superior diagnostic performance compared to CRP and PCT in bacterial infections. Methods This retrospective study analyzed 242 febrile patients admitted to the Jiangsu Province (Suqian) Hospital ...

Kinetics of Antibody Responses in Rickettsia africae and Rickettsia conorii Infections

Clinical and Vaccine Immunology, 2002
African tick-bite fever, caused by Rickettsia africae, is the most common tick-borne rickettsiosis in sub-Saharan Africa. Mediterranean spotted fever due to Rickettsia conorii also occurs in the region but is more prevalent in Mediterranean countries ...

Detection of tick-borne pathogens in questing Ixodes ricinus in the French Pyrenees and first identification of Rickettsia monacensis in France

Parasite, 2019
Ticks are important vectors of several human and animal pathogens. In this study, we estimated the prevalence of important tick-borne infections in questing ticks from an area in Southwestern France (Hautes-Pyrénées) inhabited by Pyrenean chamois ...
