Background: The subfamily Phlebotominae comprises 1028 species of sand fly, of which only 90 are recognized as vectors of pathogenic agents such as Trypanosoma, Leishmania, and Bartonella. In Thailand, leishmaniasis-a sand fly-borne disease-is currently endemic, with 36 documented sand fly species. However, many cryptic species likely remain unidentified.

Child maltreatment is a major public and global health issue with well-documented intergenerational patterns. Social-emotional development, which is detrimentally impacted by child maltreatment, has been associated with parenting behaviors and implicated as a mechanism of intergenerational transmission of child maltreatment. This scoping review sought to synthesize information on the social-emotional skills that contribute to or protect against intergenerational maltreatment.

The global prevalence of ST11 hypervirulent carbapenem-resistant (hv-CRKP) isolates has been increasingly documented, yet genomic characterization of this clone remains insufficiently explored. Here, we report a clinical ST11-KL25 hv-CRKP strain (KP156) that exhibited resistance to multiple antibiotics and demonstrated hypervirulence in a mouse infection model. Whole-genome sequencing revealed that KP156 harbored one virulence plasmid (pKP156-Vir) and two resistance plasmids (pKP156-KPC and pKP156-tetA).

Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) is a bloodborne RNA virus that leads to severe liver diseases, and currently, no effective prophylactic biologics are available to prevent its transmission. The prevention of HCV is closely related to the major histocompatibility complex (MHC). Linear antigenic peptides of HCV, known as T cell epitopes (TCEs), are crucial in the presentation process by MHC molecules to T cells, playing a key role in immune responses.
