Rickettsia rickettsii (Rickettsiales: Rickettsiaceae) Infecting Amblyomma sculptum (Acari: Ixodidae) Ticks and Capybaras in a Brazilian Spotted Fever-Endemic Area of Brazil

open access: yesJournal of Medical Entomology, 2019
Abstract The bacterium Rickettsia rickettsii is the agent of Brazilian spotted fever (BSF), a highly fatal disease that is transmitted in Brazil mainly by the tick Amblyomma sculptum Berlese, which uses capybaras (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris Linnaeus) as major hosts. In 2015, we captured nine capybaras in a BSF-endemic area of southeastern

The Significance of Genetic Relatedness and Nest Sharing on the Worker‐Worker Similarity of Gut Bacterial Microbiome and Cuticular Hydrocarbon Profile in a Sweat Bee

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 6, June 2025.
The relationship between cuticular hydrocarbon (CHC) profile and the gut microbiome (GM) is poorly known in bees. In the primitively eusocial bee Halictus scabiosae we found a high rate of nest‐drifting by workers, which leads to a consequent highly variable intra‐colonial genetic relatedness. Genetically closely related workers, even occupying distant

Opinion and report of the French Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health & Safety (ANSES) on the assessment of the impact of fox population dynamics on public health

open access: yesFood Risk Assess Europe, Volume 3, Issue 2, April 2025.
ABSTRACT The Red Fox (Vulpes vulpes) can be hunted as a game species. It may also be listed as a “species likely to cause damage” (ESOD – the acronym in French), for public health reasons among others. Conversely, benefits linked to the presence of foxes are also put forward, such as the predation of rodents carrying zoonotic agents.
