Zoonotic Disease Transmission May Be Linked to Host Co‐Occurrence Network Topology

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1554, Issue 1, Page 110-120, December 2025.
A global analysis of zoonotic host co‐occurrence networks identified 22 networks from five continents (A) and 87 hosts from 16 orders of mostly birds but also mammals (B) as having a high potential for disease transmission. ABSTRACT Most human pathogens are zoonotic, transmitted from vertebrate hosts to humans.

Canine Spotted Fever Group Rickettsial Seroprevalence as an Indicator for Human Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever Case Rates in Arizona, USA

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 72, Issue 8, Page 697-705, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Introduction Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF), a rapidly progressing febrile disease caused by the bacterium Rickettsia rickettsii, is the deadliest tick‐borne disease in the world. Human infection initially results in non‐specific symptoms and, if untreated, can result in death in up to 35% of cases.
