Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 39, Issue 4, Page 765-775, December 2025.Although flea‐borne typhus is historically associated with poorer living conditions, FBT surveillance reporting is associated with greater socioeconomic advantage at the population level. FBT surveillance may be biased towards socioeconomic advantage in its ascertainment of surveillance data.

Arthropod ectoparasites of synanthropic rodents in northern‐central Italy
Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 39, Issue 4, Page 787-793, December 2025.The presence of ectoparasites in synanthropic rodents in various Italian provinces was investigated. Eighty‐one Rattus norvegicus, 49 Rattus rattus and 10 Mus musculus were examined Polyplax spinulosa lice, Myobiidae mites, Laelaps echidninus and Notoedres muris were mainly recovered.

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 6, November 2025.An 18‐year‐old girl who didn't have any pets but was infested with fleas from a pet‐owning neighbour. Flea‐bite dermatitis caused severe pruritus, urticarial and papulomatous lesions on the neck and arm. Fleas were removed and identified as Ctenocephalides felis, the cat flea.

Estimating scrub typhus and murine typhus incidence among adolescents and adults in Yangon, Myanmar
Tropical Medicine &International Health, Volume 30, Issue 9, Page 978-986, September 2025.Abstract Objectives Rickettsioses are frequent causes of treatable febrile illness in Southeast Asia, including Myanmar. Accurate estimates of the incidence of rickettsioses are needed to inform investments in disease prevention and control. We sought to estimate the incidence of rickettsioses among adults and adolescents by combining sentinel hospital

Development of Antisense Tools to Study Bodo saltans and Its Intracellular Symbiont
MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 14, Issue 2, April 2025.Obligate symbioses present challenges for functional genetic analysis. This study shows that antisense inhibition cannot be used to investigate gene functions in the aquatic symbiosis between Bodo saltans and its bacterial symbiont. Our work stresses the importance of the development of alternative protocols to study the biology of both the ...
