A horizontally transferred bacterial gene for pantothenic acid biosynthesis regulates diapause and reproduction in the spider mite Amphitetranychus viennensis

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
A bacterial‐derived AvPBL gene encoding a pantothenate‐β‐alanine ligase was identified in Amphitetranychus viennensis. RNAi silencing of AvPBL reduced pantothenic acid production, impairing reproduction and diapause induction, while pantothenic acid supplementation rescued these phenotypes.

Detection and characterization of rickettsiae in Western Australia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
The aim of this study was to address the shortfall in current, in-depth knowledge of Western Australian rickettsiae investigating in particular, the role of native and feral animals as reservoir hosts.

STUDIES ON RESISTANCE TO BACTERIAL INFECTIONS IN ANIMALS INFECTED WITH RICKETTSIAE [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Experimental Medicine, 1956
Data are presented, demonstrating that infection with Rickettsia typhi brings about a reduction of the death rates and a prolongation of the time of survival in animals subsequently challenged with Pasteurella pestis or Pasteurella tularensis. This interference with bacterial infection by previous rickettsial infection does not appear ...

Rickettsia conorii Subspecies israelensis in Captive Baboons

open access: yesEmerging Infectious Diseases, 2023
Hamadryas baboons (Papio hamadryas) may transmit zoonotic vector-borne pathogens to visitors and workers frequenting zoological parks. We molecularly screened 33 baboons for vector-borne pathogens.

Putting Rodents at the Center of One Health Programs: A Narrative Synthesis

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Rodents link human, animal, and environmental health across diverse ecosystems. Rodent diversity underpins both zoonotic disease risk and ecosystem function. Environmental change reshapes rodent communities and spillover dynamics. Rodents act as reservoirs, amplifiers, and sentinels of emerging pathogens.

Parallel decline of malaria and Rickettsia felis infections in Senegal

open access: yes, 2018
Rickettsia felis is a common emerging pathogen in sub-Saharan Africa. Comparing dynamics of morbidities due to malaria and R. felis infections in two Senegalese villages, we found a strong and significant correlation between them.

From Data to Knowledge to Wisdom: Lessons Learned From the Vancouver Rat Project

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
A synthesis of 15 years of research conducted by the Vancouver Rat Project revealed that: (1) Pathogen ecology within rat colonies is the result of complex interactions among rats, pathogens, and vectors. (2) Local and global population structures influence rat and pathogen ecology.

Epidemiology of Acute Q Fever, Scrub Typhus, and Murine Typhus, and Identification of Their Clinical Characteristics Compared to Patients with Acute Febrile Illness in Southern Taiwan

open access: yesJournal of the Formosan Medical Association, 2009
In Taiwan, acute Q fever, scrub typhus, and murine typhus (QSM diseases) are the most common rickettsioses, but their epidemiology and clinical characteristics have not been clarified. Diagnosis of these three diseases based on clinical manifestations is

Drivers of Host–Pathogen Community Assemblages in European Forests and Urban Green Spaces

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite advances in understanding infectious diseases, the persistence and re‐emergence of wildlife pathogens continue to raise public and veterinary health concerns. This study investigates the relationship between biodiversity and rodent‐borne diseases in Europe, focusing on habitat alterations and their impact on rodent diversity.

Rickettsiales and rickettsial diseases in Australia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Currently, there are 12 known Rickettsiales species in Australia. However research into the diversity and range of these agents in Australia is still far from complete.
