Jail Fever (Epidemic Typhus) Outbreak in Burundi
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 1997 We recently investigated a suspected outbreak of epidemic typhus in a jail in Burundi. We tested sera of nine patients by microimmunofluorescence for antibodies to Rickettsia prowazekii and Rickettsia typhi. We also amplified and sequenced from lice gene

Genotyping of human lice suggests multiple emergencies of body lice from local head louse populations. [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2010 BACKGROUND: Genetic analyses of human lice have shown that the current taxonomic classification of head lice (Pediculus humanus capitis) and body lice (Pediculus humanus humanus) does not reflect their phylogenetic organization.

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 ...

Nanoparticles: A Potential and Effective Method to Control Insect‐Borne Diseases
Bioinorganic Chemistry and Applications, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023 Insects act as vectors to carry a wide range of bacteria and viruses that can cause multiple vector‐borne diseases in humans. Diseases such as dengue fever, epidemic encephalitis B, and epidemic typhus, which pose serious risks to humans, can be transmitted by insects.

Molecular Targets of Neurotoxic Insecticides in Apis mellifera
European Journal of Organic Chemistry, Volume 2022, Issue 21, June 7, 2022., 2022 Cloning of the honeybee genes encoding ion channels targeted by neurotoxic insecticides and their functional reconstitution in heterologous expression system allow the assessment of the different insecticide classes including pyrethroids and neonicotinoids. Elucidation of their mode of action, by combining electrophysiology and molecular docking, might
