Things to Do in Sunny San Diego
The historic aircraft carrier, USS Midway Museum moored in Broadway Pier in San Diego.
SHM Converge 2024 is just around the corner, taking place from April 12 to 15. While noting down the sessions you wish to attend and catching up with friends and colleagues (see our editorial board’s recommendations), remember to also enjoy the beautiful city of San Diego.
San Diego is known as the birthplace of California, as it was the first location in the western U.S. where Europeans set foot, specifically Point Loma. It’s also the birthplace of the California burrito, which includes French fries and carne asada. The city is hom...

Multi-locus sequence analysis of 'Candidatus Mycoplasma haematomacacae' in free-ranging macaques from Thailand suggestive of a closer relationship to hemotropic mycoplasmas in capuchins and potential origin from bats
Acta Trop. 2024 Feb 20:107156. doi: 10.1016/j.actatropica.2024.107156. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAlthough 'Candidatus Mycoplasma haematomacacae' (formerly known as 'Candidatus Mycoplasma haemomacaque') has been reported on extensively in macaques from Thailand, the USA, Japan, and Brazil, its genetic characterization has primarily been restricted to the 16S rRNA sequences with no exploration on multi-locus sequence analysis. The primary goal of this study was to characterize 'Ca. M. haematomacacae' among Thai macaques based on multiple genetic markers. Between April 2018 and November 2021, blood samples were taken from...

Gregarina lutescens n. sp. infecting the harlequin ladybird harmonia axyridis (coleoptera: coccinellidae)
J Parasitol. 2024 Feb 1;110(1):66-78. doi: 10.1645/23-107.ABSTRACTGregarina lutescens n. sp. is described from the alimentary canal of the harlequin ladybird or multicolored Asian lady beetle, Harmonia axyridis (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) collected from prairie fleabane, Erigeron strigosus, at Peru State College, Peru, Nemaha Co., Nebraska. Our specimens differ from all 11 known species of Gregarina infecting coccinellid beetles worldwide by differences in size and relative shape, color, and association structure. Gregarina lutescens n. sp. is smaller than 7 known species infecting coccinellid beetles but larger than the o...

Prevalence, trends, and factors associated with hypertensive crisis among Peruvian adults
This study aimed to determine the prevalence and trends over time of hypertensive crisis, as well as the factors associated with this condition among adults. A secondary data analysis was carried out using the Peruvian Demographic and Family Health Survey (ENDES). Hypertensive crisis was defined based on the presence of systolic (≥ 180mmHg) or diastolic (≥ 110mmHg) blood pressure, regardless of previous diagnosis or medication use. The factors associated with our outcome were evaluated using multinomial logistic regression, and the trend of hypertensive crisis was evaluated using the Cochrane-Armitage test. Data from 2...
