Exploring the Development of Wild Microbiomes in the Eastern Fence Lizard

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 4, August 2026.
We used 16S rRNA gene sequencing to profile the bacterial community from the guts of wild Eastern Fence Lizards. Microbiome profiles were collected at four distinct time points when lizards were actively foraging in the environment and across four age groups, aiming to characterise the natural variation in bacterial diversity.

Improved Detection and Sequencing of Rickettsia spp. DNA in South African Wildlife

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 4, July 2026.
Nested gltA PCR detected Rickettsia spp. DNA in 44% of South African wildlife samples previously negative by RLB, revealing spotted fever, typhus and transitional group lineages, novel host records, co‐infection and multi‐organ dissemination in impala, highlighting complex wildlife involvement and zoonotic risk within a One Health framework.

A novel extracellular gut symbiont in the marine worm Priapulus caudatus (Priapulida) reveals an alphaproteobacterial symbiont clade of the Ecdysozoa

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016
Priapulus caudatus (phylum Priapulida) is a benthic marine predatory worm with a cosmopolitan distribution. In its digestive tract we detected symbiotic bacteria that were consistently present in specimens collected over eight years from three sites at ...

Molecular Characterization and Prevalence of Anaplasma ovis and Anaplasma phagocytophilum in Goat Population in Siirt Province From Türkiye

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 4, July 2026.
This study assessed the molecular prevalence and genetic characterization of Anaplasma ovis and Anaplasma phagocytophilum in goats from Siirt using MSP4‐based PCR and sequencing; a high prevalence of A. ovis (52.0%) was detected with significant risk factor associations, while A. phagocytophilum was not identified; phylogenetic analysis showed that the

Phylogenetic Authentication of Amplicon Sequence Variants in Single‐Specimen Metabarcoding of Tropical Insects

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 5, July 2026.
ABSTRACT High‐throughput sequencing (HTS) allows large‐scale DNA barcoding of individually tagged specimens (‘megabarcoding’), but deep amplicon sequencing produces a mixture of authentic mitochondrial sequences together with nuclear pseudogenes (NUMTs), environmental and cross‐sample contaminants, and sequencing artefacts.

Species‐Specific Bacterial Associations Emerge From Stochastically Assembled Microbiomes in Northeastern American Fireflies

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 14, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Many insects harbour microbial communities that can profoundly influence the biology of their host. Yet, the relative contribution of random exposure (i.e., stochastic) events and deterministic ecological factors in shaping these communities remains unclear for most taxa.

Diversity of Rickettsiales in the Microbiome of the Lone Star Tick, Amblyomma americanum [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2014
ABSTRACT Ticks are important vectors for many emerging pathogens. However, they are also infected with many symbionts and commensals, often competing for the same niches. In this paper, we characterize the microbiome of Amblyomma americanum (Acari: Ixodidae), the lone star tick, in order to better ...

Comparative Genomic Analysis of Holospora spp., Intranuclear Symbionts of Paramecia

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
While most endosymbiotic bacteria are transmitted only vertically, Holospora spp., an alphaproteobacterium from the Rickettsiales order, can desert its host and invade a new one.

Extensive genetic diversity of Rickettsiales bacteria in multiple mosquito species [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2016
AbstractRickettsiales are important zoonotic pathogens, causing severe disease in humans globally. Although mosquitoes are an important vector for diverse pathogens, with the exception of members of the genusWolbachialittle is known about their role in the transmission of Rickettsiales.

Tick-borne zoonoses in the Order Rickettsiales and Legionellales in Iran: A systematic review. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2018
BACKGROUND:Tick-borne zoonoses in the Order Rickettsiales and Legionellales cause infections that often manifest as undifferentiated fevers that are not easy to distinguish from other causes of acute febrile illnesses clinically.
