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,

Infection Risk From Humans and Animals in the Anatomy Laboratory: A Scoping Review
Clinical Anatomy, Volume 39, Issue 3, Page 346-367, April 2026.ABSTRACT Whole‐body dissection is a cornerstone of anatomy education. During and following the COVID‐19 pandemic, exposure to infectious agents and other risks of dissection were highlighted. To identify potential risks, one must have the data outlining these risks in specific situations.

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.
