The Effect of Climate Change on Emergence and Evolution of Zoonotic Diseases in Asia
ABSTRACT As the climate of Asia changes under the influence of global warming, the incidence and spatial distribution of known zoonoses will evolve, and new zoonoses are expected to emerge as a result of greater exposure to organisms which currently occur only in wildlife.

Etiology of Tsutsugamushi Disease
An endemic infectious disease, called Tsutsugamushi disease (Kedani fever, river fever), occurs in Japan along the rivers in the northern provinces. In spite of the persistent efforts of numerous workers, its etiology has been very difficult to determine.

Yunnan Province, the most serious scrub typhus endemic areas in China, provides abundant ecological resources that sustain parasite and host populations. The distribution of vector‐borne diseases is driven by interactions between hosts, vectors and the environment, revealing critical ecological dynamics.

Many insects harbour ancient beneficial endosymbionts that produce essential nutrients. Two planthopper species from the Cixiidae family harbour different tripartite endosymbiont consortia, including a previously unknown and likely ancient Gammaproteobacterium in addition to Karelsulcia and Vidania.

Scrub typhus is caused by Orientia tsutsugamushi (OT). In this study, the detection rates of OT in patients and small mammals were 28.13% (18/64) and 13.98% (13/93), respectively. Nine full‐length 56‐kDa TSA genes were identified, comprising four distinct genotypes: Karp‐like (n = 3), Kato‐like (n = 3), Gilliam (n = 2), and TA763 (n = 1). Recombination

Current and Future Projection of Scrub Typhus Risk Related to Land Use Change in China
Abstract The widespread concern surrounding the enhanced spillover risk of infectious diseases due to dramatic global land use changes has sparked significant discussion. However, the specific implications of these changes on scrub typhus, a vector‐borne infectious disease facing increasing incidence and substantial expansion, remain unclear.

A Reflective Verbalization Strategy to Trigger Alternative Diagnostic Hypotheses
ABSTRACT Rationale Physicians sometimes encounter various types of gut feelings (GFs) during clinical diagnosis. The type of GF addressed in this paper refers to the intuitive sense that the generated hypothesis might be incorrect. An appropriate diagnosis cannot be obtained unless these GFs are articulated and inventive solutions are devised.

AN AUTOPSY CASE OF TSUTSUGAMUSHI DISEASE
A 54-years-old man, who had traveled to Niigata Prefecture, was diagnosed as tsutsugamushi disease based on elevated serum antibody level and a sticked scar in his thigh.He suffered from prolonged fever and generalized exanthema followed by jaundice and anemia and died two months later.At autopsy, mild lymphadenopathy and hepatosplenomegaly were found ...
