Canadian Journal of Infectious Diseases and Medical Microbiology, Volume 2019, Issue 1, 2019., 2019 This article addresses the recent use of mathematical epidemiological SIR or SEIR models in plague research. This use of S(E)IR models is highly problematic, but the problems are not presented and considered. Serious problems show in that such models are used to “prove” that historical plague was a (1) Filoviridae disease and (2) a bacterial disease ...

Spotted fever group rickettsiae associated with ixodid ticks in wild environment in Southern Italy
MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 7, Issue 1, February 2018., 2018 Tick‐borne rickettsioses are an important public health problem; however, their diagnosis remains challenging. Spotted fever group rickettsiae were investigated in hard ticks using two different molecular approaches. A total of four zoonotic rickettsiae were detected. Abstract Ixodidae ticks are vectors and reservoirs of several species of rickettsiae,

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 6, Issue 1, Page 119-124, January 2018., 2018 Domestic animals can carry ticks or fleas, which constitute common vectors of rickettsial infections. The contact with them should be considered as suggestive of rickettsial infections in symptomatic patients. Misdiagnosis might occur in regions where other vector‐borne diseases are endemic.

Murine Typhus: An Important Consideration for the Nonspecific Febrile Illness
Case Reports in Medicine, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012 Murine typhus is a widely distributed flea‐borne infection caused by Rickettsia typhi. Symptoms of murine typhus are nonspecific and mimic a variety of other infectious diseases. We herein report a case of murine typhus in an area where the broad use of DDT in the mid‐20th century has now made it a rare disease.
