Mediterranean spotted fever has recently been reported in Iran, yet it continues to be overlooked by healthcare professionals in the country. This case report details a 19-month-old child who presented with fever, edema and skin rashes and was initially misdiagnosed. Subsequent testing revealed a Mediterranean spotted fever infection through IgG seroconversion.

The management of patients with acute infectious diseases can present significant challenges, especially if the causative agent has a propensity for person-to-person transmission. In such cases, effective patient management is dependent on both rapid identification of disease and the provision of necessary medical care while adhering to suitable infection prevention and control measures to reduce the potential for onwards transmission. The UK has operated a defined system for managing patients with high-consequence infectious diseases (HCIDs) since the 1970s, when protocols were first implemented following the first descriptions of several viral haemorrhagic fever diseases, including Marburg virus disease, Lassa fever and Ebola virus disease (EVD).

Extreme drought events can impact human health, notably triggering epidemics that impose significant global health and economic burdens. Understanding these effects and developing response strategies is crucial. However, there is limited epidemiological evidence on how climate change influenced ancient epidemics before large-scale urbanization and frequent population movements.

Fleas (Insecta, Siphonaptera) are the known vectors of serious bacterial pathogens, such as Yersinia pestis and Rickettsia typhi. The microbiota of fleas has been poorly investigated although it has a known influence on vector competence. Here, we report and analyse the microbiota of 577 flea specimens from Madagascar, a hotspot of plague transmission.

Fleas transmit a variety of zoonotic agents whose epidemiology and public health risk remains poorly understood in sub-Saharan Africa, including Uganda particularly outside plague-endemic areas. Common flea-borne zoonotic agents include and . The study aimed at detecting and characterising flea-borne pathogens in peridomestic environments in Uganda.
