A comparison of super‐resolution microscopy techniques for imaging tightly packed microcolonies of an obligate intracellular bacterium

Journal of Microscopy, Volume 301, Issue 2, Page 187-205, February 2026.
Abstract Conventional optical microscopy imaging of obligate intracellular bacteria is hampered by the small size of bacterial cells, tight clustering exhibited by some bacterial species and challenges relating to labelling such as background from host cells, a lack of validated reagents, and a lack of tools for genetic manipulation.

Infection Rates and Characterisation of Rickettsia africae (Rickettsiaceae) Detected in Amblyomma Species from Southern Africa

Microorganisms
Tick-borne rickettsioses are considered among the oldest known vector-borne zoonotic diseases. Among the rickettsiae, Rickettsia africae is the most reported and important in Africa, as it is the aetiological agent of African tick bite fever (ATBF). Studies describing the prevalence of R.

Molecular Detection and Characterization of Ehrlichia ruminantium [PDF]

, 2002
Ehrlichia ruminantium is an obligate intracellular bacterium that can cause a disease in ruminants known as heartwater. The vertebrate host becomes infected when infected Amblyomma ticks (nymphs or adults) feed on it. When the host survives the infection

Diversifying selection and host adaptation in two endosymbiont genomes [PDF]

, 2007
Background: The endosymbiont Wolbachia pipientis infects a broad range of arthropod and filarial nematode hosts. These diverse associations form an attractive model for understanding host: symbiont coevolution.

Surveillance of Zoonotic Pathogens in Small Mammals Across Forests With Different Levels of Anthropization in Eastern France

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The emergence of infectious diseases associated with land‐use changes is well‐documented. However, the presence and dynamics of zoonotic pathogens in small mammals within European forests, whether from rural development or urban greening, remain underexplored.

Two intracellular and cell type-specific bacterial symbionts in the placozoan Trichoplax H2

, 2019
Placozoa is an enigmatic phylum of simple, microscopic, marine metazoans(1,2). Although intracellular bacteria have been found in all members of this phylum, almost nothing is known about their identity, location and interactions with their host(3-6). We

Ixodes ricinus and Its Transmitted Pathogens in Urban and Peri-Urban Areas in Europe: New Hazards and Relevance for Public Health. [PDF]

, 2014
Tick-borne diseases represent major public and animal health issues worldwide. Ixodes ricinus, primarily associated with deciduous and mixed forests, is the principal vector of causative agents of viral, bacterial, and protozoan zoonotic diseases in ...

Primary and Secondary Symbionts of Cambodian Cicadellidae and the Role of Parasitisation

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 17, Issue 5, October 2025.
Leafhoppers are key agricultural pests, and their interactions with parasitoids may be influenced by microbial symbionts. In this study, we characterized the bacterial communities of six Cambodian leafhopper species and their parasitoids, finding that while Sulcia dominates leafhopper microbiotas, parasitoids exhibit higher microbial diversity.

Wolbachia in butterflies and moths: geographic structure in infection frequency. [PDF]

, 2015
INTRODUCTION: Butterflies and moths (Lepidoptera) constitute one of the most diverse insect orders, and play an important role in ecosystem function. However, little is known in terms of their bacterial communities. Wolbachia, perhaps the most common and
