Mixed infection of P. vivax and P. falciparum malaria frequently recorded in field survey. However mixed infection was frequently misdiagnosed as single infection due to low parasite density, difficult species identification and procedure error of microscopic examination. Our previous report showed high rates (32-33%) of P vivax infection following treatment of previously assumed to be only P. falciparum infection. In a study of 992 patients with initial presentation with P. falciparum, we found that 104 (10.5%) of patients had P. falciparum appearing during 28 days in the hospital (ranged 1-28 days) following chloroquine treatment for P. vivax. The potential for P. falciparum appearing following elimination of P. vivax must be considered in malaria treatment.

Department of Gastroenterology, Hepatology, Infectious Diseases and Endocrinology, Hannover Medical School, Hanover, Germany.
Background And Aims: Chronic hepatitis D virus (HDV) infection can cause severe liver disease. With new treatment options available, it is important to identify patients at risk for liver-related complications. We aimed to investigate kinetics and predictive values of novel virological and immunological markers in the natural course of chronic HDV infection.

Hepatitis B virus (HBV)-hepatitis delta virus (HDV) coinfection is the most severe form of chronic viral hepatitis, but the factors that determine disease progression and severity are incompletely characterised. This long-term follow-up study aims to identify risk factors for severe liver-related outcomes. In this multicentre national cohort study, data from admission until the last visit between 2001 and 2023 was retrospectively collected from 162 HBV-HDV coinfected patients.

Purpose: This multicenter study aimed to investigate the clinical characteristics and factors associated with specific viral pathogens in patients with acute retinal necrosis (ARN).
Methods: A retrospective multicenter cohort study included ARN patients who underwent aqueous or vitreous polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing. Multivariable mixed-effects Poisson regression was used to identify factors associated with viral pathogens.
Invasive liver abscess syndrome complicated by carbapenem-resistant infection: a case report.

Department of Emergency Medicine, The First People's Hospital of Kunshan, Kunshan, China.
Background: A liver abscess caused by hypervirulent can lead to multiple invasive extrahepatic infections, including lung abscesses, endophthalmitis, brain abscesses, and necrotizing fasciitis. This condition, known as liver abscess invasion syndrome, progresses rapidly and is associated with severe illness, high disability rates, and significant mortality. However, bloodstream infections with co-infection involving carbapenem-resistant are exceedingly rare.

Department of Plant Pathology, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Lincoln, NE, United States.
Wheat streak mosaic virus (WSMV; ) and Triticum mosaic virus (TriMV; ), the type members of the genera and , respectively, in the family , are economically important wheat viruses in the Great Plains region of the USA. Co-infection of wheat by WSMV and TriMV results in disease synergism. Wheat transcriptome from singly (WSMV or TriMV) and doubly (WSMV+TriMV) infected upper uninoculated leaves were analyzed by RNA-Seq at 9, 12, and 21 days postinoculation.
