Characterisation of Typical Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (tEPEC) and bfpA Genes From Five Bat Species Reveals Australian Pteropus Spp. Are Natural tEPEC Hosts

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 5, October 2026.
This study revealed that Australia's five Pteropus bat species are all natural hosts of typical Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (tEPEC)—historically considered a human‐specific pathogen. Across the five Pteropus spp., tEPEC prevalence ranged between 14.2% and 37.0%, with 18 bat‐specific tEPEC strain types and 24 bat‐specific bfpA allele types ...

A Genetic Risk Variant Associated With the Risk of Primary Biliary Cholangitis Is Inherited From Neanderthals

Liver International, Volume 46, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC) is an autoimmune cholangiopathy with polygenic architecture and unknown aetiology. Evidence links Neanderthal‐derived genetic variants to autoimmune conditions; however, their contribution to PBC susceptibility remains unexplored.

Early Mpox Detection: Integrating Skin Lesion Imaging, Epidemiology, and Treatment for Deep Learning Approaches

Medicine Advances, Volume 4, Issue 3, Page 287-296, September 2026.
Research papers utilizing publicly available, web‐scraped resources related to mpox—including news portals and datasets such as Monkeypox2022, Kaggle, and the Monkeypox Skin Images Dataset—demonstrate variability in accuracy. Our findings suggest that although deep learning models such as MobileNetV2, VGG16, and GoogLeNet report accuracy exceeding 95%,
