Severe Murine Typhus with Pulmonary System Involvement
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2014 We encountered a case of severe murine typhus complicated by acute respiratory distress syndrome. To determine worldwide prevalence of such cases, we reviewed the literature and found that respiratory symptoms occur in ≈30% of murine typhus patients.

Vector Control Has a Role to Play in Mitigating the High Incidence of Flea-borne Typhus in Los Angeles County, California [PDF]
, 2016 More than 500 human cases of flea-borne typhus have been reported from Los Angeles and Orange Counties over the past 20 years. Only West Nile virus exceeds flea-borne typhus as an important vector-borne disease in these counties. Despite this, flea-borne

Public Health Challenges, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.ABSTRACT Bacteria of the order Rickettsiales comprise a diverse group of obligate intracellular microorganisms that are globally distributed and highly prevalent in tropical and subtropical regions. In South America, these bacteria have been associated with arthropod vectors, such as ticks, fleas, mites, lice, and certain dipterans, as well as with a ...

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 ...

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.

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.

Ecosystem services provided by spiders
Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 6, Page 2217-2236, December 2025.ABSTRACT Spiders, ubiquitous and abundant predators in terrestrial ecosystems, often are the subjects of an unjust negative perception. However, these remarkable creatures stand as unsung heroes within our ecosystems, contributing a multitude of ecosystem services critical to human well‐being.
