Human infections with neglected vector-borne pathogens in China: A systematic review [PDF]
Summary: Background: Emerging vector-borne pathogens (VBPs) pose a continuous background threat to the global health. Knowledge of the occurrence, distributions and epidemiological characteristics of VBP are lacking in many countries. Outbreaks of novel

Vector Specificity of the Relapsing Fever Spirochete Borrelia hermsii (Spirochaetales: Borreliaceae) for the Tick Ornithodoros hermsi (Acari: Argasidae) Involves Persistent Infection of the Salivary Glands. [PDF]
Abstract The relapsing fever spirochetes Borrelia hermsii and Borrelia turicatae are each maintained and transmitted in nature by their specific tick vectors, Ornithodoros hermsi Wheeler (Acari: Argasidae) and Ornithodoros turicata (Duges), respectively.

Full-Length 16S and 18S rRNA Long-Read Sequencing Reveals Gut Microbiome Diversity in the European Brown Hare (Lepus europaeus). [PDF]
Full‐length 16S and 18S rRNA Oxford Nanopore sequencing of large intestine contents from 30 healthy European brown hares revealed broad gut microbiome diversity. An 80% identity threshold detected substantially greater taxonomic richness than 95%, emphasizing the value of long‐read sequencing in wildlife microbiome research. ABSTRACT The European brown

Detection of Antibodies Against Leptospira interrogans Serovars Among Stabled Horses in Qazvin Province of Iran as a One-Health Concern. [PDF]
• Totally, 40.96% of the stabled horses in Qazvin province, Northwest Iran were positive for antibodies against different Leptospira interrogans serovars. • This study highlights the potential role of horses as reservoirs for Leptospira. • The predominant serovar identified was Hardjo, highlighting the potential zoonotic risks associated with this ...

Exploring the Role of Oral Microbiota in the Pathophysiology and Treatment of Bruxism. [PDF]
Bruxism, characterized by involuntary teeth grinding and clenching during wakefulness and sleep, leads to oral health issues such as tooth wear, temporomandibular disorders (TMD), gum recession, and chronic pain. While traditionally attributed to psychological and behavioral factors, recent research suggests a potential link between oral microbiota ...

A Guidance for Diagnosis, Control Measures, and Surveillance of Leptospirosis in Non-Human Primates From a Veterinary Perspective in a One-Health Approach. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Leptospirosis is an emerging zoonotic disease caused by pathogenic Leptospira spp., affecting a wide range of domestic and wild mammals including nonhuman primates (NHPs). Despite rising incidence rates in both NHPs and humans, there is a lack of comprehensive resources addressing leptospirosis in NHPs from a veterinary perspective in a One ...

Abstract Lyme disease, caused by Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto and most commonly transmitted by Ixodes scapularis Say (Ixodida: Ixodidae), is the most common tick-borne disease in Maryland. Because B. burgdorferi s.s. is maintained in enzootic cycles among wild mice (Peromyscus spp) and Ixodes spp ticks, differing patterns of ...

The composition and microbial activity of marine water is expected to vary with seasons and abiotic variables. To characterize both the microbial compositional and functional changes associated with abiotic factors such as pH, temperature, alkalinity, aragonite, calcite and pCO2, here we generate a reference metatranscriptome from the Strait of Georgia,
