Bat-rodent-human interfaces in the Americas: a synthesis of zoonotic pathways.

Emerging zoonoses often arise at wildlife-human interfaces, yet prevention efforts still treat wildlife reservoirs in isolation. This review synthesizes evidence on RNA viruses detected in bats and rodents across the Americas and examines the ecological interfaces underlying bat-rodent-human transmission. Rather than a...

Ticks Recovered from Opportunistically Examined Greater Grisons (Galictis vittata) in Veracruz, Mexico

Systematic review and exploratory spatial analysis of bat trypanosomatid infections in Mexico

Trypanosoma spp. and Leishmania spp. are protozoan parasites of public health importance. Bats can act as hosts, but evidence from Mexico remains fragmented and has rarely been examined within a One Health spatial framework. The Maya Train and the Interoceanic Corridor of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec (ICIT) we...

Molecular detection of Rickettsia rhipicephali and hemotropic Mycoplasma sp. in Dermacentor panamensis from a Mexican Hairy Dwarf Porcupine (Coendou mexicanus) in Veracruz, Mexico

This study represents the first record of D. panamensis parasitizing porcupines in Mexico and extends its known distribution northward, and provides the first molecular evidence of R. rhipicephali associated with this tick species in the country, as well as the first detection of a hemoplasma in this host–tick system.
