Epidemiological and Clinical Features of Rickettsial Infection Among Australian Individuals from 2015 to 2018
Announcing a new article publication for Zoonoses journal. In this study, the clinical, laboratory and epidemiological features of rickettsial infection in Australian patients were examined. Patients with Rickettsia spp. seropositivity were selected from the database of the Australian Rickettsial Reference Laboratory. Questionnaires were sent to each referring physician with a request for information regarding the patient’s illness. […]
Microbial Composition of Haemaphysalis longicornis in Shaanxi Province, Determined Through Next-Generation Sequencing
Announcing a new article publication for Zoonoses journal. Ticks are parasitic organisms that can transmit a wide range of pathogenic microorganisms. They are the second most common vectors of diseases affecting humans and animals. The occurrence and transmission of tick-borne diseases has recently shown increasing or fluctuating trends. DNA was extracted after the collection of tick […]

Announcing a new article publication for Zoonoses journal. The aim of this study was to monitor the spectrum of viral pathogens involved in febrile rash illness (FRI) and their epidemiology. A large-scale study was conducted in multiple provinces of China from 2009 to 2021. A total of 14,168 patients of all age groups were enrolled […]
Advances in CRISPR/Cas9-Based Gene Editing Technology in Mosquitoes
Announcing a new article publication for Zoonoses journal. As global warming increases, mosquito activity areas are expanding, alongside changes in the natural environment and the misuse of insecticides, thus further increasing mosquito resistance and exposing the world to an elevated risk of mosquito-borne diseases. With advancements in gene editing technology, researchers are continually attempting to […]
Prospects and Challenges of Genetically Modified Live-Attenuated Leishmania Vaccines
Announcing a new article publication for Zoonoses journal. Leishmaniases are transmitted by the protozoan parasite Leishmania through the bites of infected sandflies. Despite the availability of various medications, rising resistance and toxicity levels underscore the urgent need to explore and create a reliable, safe Leishmania vaccines for human use.

Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Persister Cell Formation after Pyrazinamide Exposure
Announcing a new article publication for Zoonoses journal. Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) persister formation under antibiotic pressure is the main reason for long tuberculosis treatment and relapse. A key first-line antibiotic in TB treatment is pyrazinamide (PZA). The authors of this article established an in vitro assay, the time to detection (TTD) assay, to identify persister formation after PZA […]
Enhanced Expression of Two ISGs as Potential Biomarkers of Prognosis in HIV-Infected Immunological Non-Responders
Announcing a new article publication for Zoonoses journal. No novel biomarkers are currently available for evaluating immune reconstitution among people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWH) receiving combined antiretroviral treatment (cART). This study analyzed the expression patterns of interferon-stimulating genes (ISGs) in PLWH with the aim of identifying potential biomarkers for immune reconstitution. Study samples were collected […]
