THE EXPERIMENTAL INFECTION OF THE HUMAN BODY LOUSE, PEDICULUS HUMANUS CORPORIS, WITH MURINE AND EPIDEMIC LOUSE-BORNE TYPHUS STRAINS [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Medicine, 1945 Experiments are described which demonstrate that human body lice (Pediculus humanus corporis), were infected experimentally with murine and epidemic louse-borne strains of typhus fever by feeding on suitably prepared rabbits. Details of the two methods of infection, the "bleb technique" and the "I.V. technique," are presented.

Detection and Genetic Diversity of Heritable Bacterial Symbionts in Human Lice Based on 16S-rRNA Gene. [PDF]
Environ Microbiol RepCandidatus Riesia pediculicola and Wolbachia were found in 79.6% and 95.2% of head lice, and 81.8% and 100% of body lice. Candidatus Riesia pthiripubis and Wolbachia appeared in 41.7% and 75% of pubic lice. Maximum‐likelihood 16S‐rRNA phylogeny revealed substantial heterogeneity within symbiont populations. ABSTRACT Human lice are obligate bloodsucking

Rickettsiosis Infections in Sarawak: Epidemiological Insights and Public Health Strategies. [PDF]
Can J Infect Dis Med MicrobiolRickettsiosis infections pose a significant public health concern in Sarawak, Malaysia. Despite their importance, these infections remain poorly recognised, under‐researched and inadequately documented within the context of the Sarawak region. This comprehensive evaluation seeks to address this knowledge gap by providing an in‐depth analysis of ...

Infectious disease in the Pleistocene: Old friends or old foes?
American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 182, Issue 4, Page 513-531, December 2023., 2023 Sources of evidence for studying infectious diseases of humans and other Pleistocene hominins. From top to bottom: DNA analysis of humans and hominins, modern and ancient, including the analysis of genomes at a population scale; palaeopathology, such as osteolytic skeletal lesions resulting from infection, and the study of mummified tissues or palaeo ...

The Economic History Review, Volume 76, Issue 2, Page 624-660, May 2023., 2023 Abstract Health improved in English cities in the last third of the nineteenth century, in tandem with substantial increases in public spending on water supplies and sanitation. However, previous efforts to measure the contribution of public expenditures to mortality improvements have been hampered by difficulties in quantifying public health ...

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

THE ZOONOTIC CITY: Urban Political Ecology and the Pandemic Imaginary
International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, Volume 46, Issue 2, Page 202-219, March 2022., 2022 Abstract In the context of the Covid‐19 pandemic this article takes a longer view of the evolving relationship between urbanization and the range of zoonotic diseases that have spread from animals to humans. I suggest that the existing interpretation of epidemiological transitions remains overly Eurocentric and requires a more nuanced conception of ...
