Epidemiology and clinical features of flea-borne rickettsioses
Revista Colombiana de Ciencias Pecuarias, 2017 Murine typhus is a flea-borne rickettsiosis caused by Rickettsia typhi. The disease is endemic to tropical and subtropical regions throughout the world. It is likely vastly under-recognized as a cause of febrile illness.

Bayesian spatial modelling and the significance of agricultural land use to scrub typhus infection in Taiwan [PDF]
, 2013 Scrub typhus is transmitted by the larval stage of trombiculid mites. Environmental factors, including land cover and land use, are known to influence breeding and survival of trombiculid mites and, thus, also the spatial heterogeneity of scrub typhus ...

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 ...

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.
