Rickettsiosis Infections in Sarawak: Epidemiological Insights and Public Health Strategies. [PDF]

Can J Infect Dis Med Microbiol
Rickettsiosis infections pose a significant public health concern in Sarawak, Malaysia. Despite their importance, these infections remain poorly recognised, under‐researched and inadequately documented within the context of the Sarawak region. This comprehensive evaluation seeks to address this knowledge gap by providing an in‐depth analysis of ...

The First Report on Cat Flea (Ctenocephalides felis), a Zoonotic Haematophagous Insect Infestation in Humans in Bangladesh: A Case Report and Literature Review. [PDF]

Vet Med Sci
An 18‐year‐old girl who didn't have any pets but was infested with fleas from a pet‐owning neighbour. Flea‐bite dermatitis caused severe pruritus, urticarial and papulomatous lesions on the neck and arm. Fleas were removed and identified as Ctenocephalides felis, the cat flea.

Bayesian population-based assessment of ascertainment bias in flea-borne typhus surveillance in California, 2011-2019. [PDF]

Med Vet Entomol
Although flea‐borne typhus is historically associated with poorer living conditions, FBT surveillance reporting is associated with greater socioeconomic advantage at the population level. FBT surveillance may be biased towards socioeconomic advantage in its ascertainment of surveillance data.

Two Pathogens and One Disease: Detection and Identification of Flea-Borne Rickettsiae in Areas Endemic for Murine Typhus in California [PDF]

Journal of Medical Entomology, 2012
Results of an environmental assessment conducted in a newly emergent focus of murine typhus in southern California are described. Opossums, Didelphis virginiana Kerr, infested with cat fleas, Ctenocephalides felis Buché, in the suburban area were abundant. Animal and flea specimens were tested for the DNA of two flea-borne rickettsiae, Rickettsia typhi

Modelling the Potential Human Exposure to Japanese Encephalitis Virus (JEV) in Case of Introduction into Reunion Island

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023
Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) is a vector‐borne zoonotic virus and the leading cause of human acute encephalitis in Asia. Continuous human and commercial exchanges between Southeast Asia where JE is endemic and Reunion Island increase the risk of introducing JEV on the island, where putative vectors of JEV such as Culex quinquefasciatus and ...

Tick‐borne pathogens, including Crimean‐Congo haemorrhagic fever virus, at livestock markets and slaughterhouses in western Kenya

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 68, Issue 4, Page 2429-2445, July 2021., 2021
Abstract Vectors of emerging infectious diseases have expanded their distributional ranges in recent decades due to increased global travel, trade connectivity and climate change. Transboundary range shifts, arising from the continuous movement of humans and livestock across borders, are of particular disease control concern.

Case Report: Early Doxycycline Therapy for Potential Rickettsiosis in Critically Ill Patients in Flea-Borne Typhus-Endemic Areas

The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2019
Flea-borne typhus (FBT), although usually perceived as a self-resolving febrile illness, actually encompasses a wide spectrum of disease severity, including fulminant sepsis with multi-organ failure. In endemic Texas and California, the incidence of FBT has more than doubled over the last decade.

Fleas of small mammals on Reunion Island: diversity, distribution and epidemiological consequences.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2014
The diversity and geographical distribution of fleas parasitizing small mammals have been poorly investigated on Indian Ocean islands with the exception of Madagascar where endemic plague has stimulated extensive research on these arthropod vectors.
