  S. Rahman et al. View Abstract

  Enteric fever remains a public health challenge. We analyzed data from a cluster-randomized Vi-tetanus toxoid conjugate vaccine trial to compare the epidemiology between Salmonella enterica serovars Paratyphi A, which causes paratyphoid fever, and Typhi, which causes typhoid fever. The overall incidence rate of paratyphoid fever was 27 (95% CI 23–32)/100,000 person-years (PY) and of typhoid fever was 216 (95% CI 198–236)/100,000 PY. We observed the highest incidence for both diseases in children 2–4 years of age: 72 (95% CI 41–117)/100,000 PY for paratyphoid and 887 (95% CI 715–1,088)/100,000 PY for typhoid. Lack of private toilets and safe drinking water were associated with both diseases. Prevalence of multidrug resistance was significantly higher in Salmonella Typhi (20.2%) than in Salmonella Paratyphi A (0.8%) (p<0.001). Our data suggest that integrated control measures targeting water, sanitation, and hygiene measures and bivalent vaccine targeting both pathogens are promising strategies to control both diseases.

  We report the detection of hemotropic mycoplasmas in 4 immunosuppressed pediatric patients in Spain: 2 solid organ transplant recipients, 1 hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipient, and 1 cancer patient. Sequences were 100% identical to a strain previously identified in Miniopterus schreibersii bats, which raises concerns about unnoticed zoonotic transmission.

  We assessed the prevalence of the rat lungworm, Angiostrongylus cantonensis, in rats and snails in Toamasina, Madagascar, using molecular techniques. Although no human cases of neuroangiostrongyliasis have been reported in Madagascar, the pathogen’s presence in definitive hosts (2.5%, 2/78) and intermediate hosts (26.9%, 35/130) reveals active circulation and potential zoonotic risk.

• Two Cases of Autochthonous West Nile Virus Encephalitis, Paris, France, 2025
  N. Hassold-Rugolino et al. View Abstract

  We report 2 cases of febrile lymphocytic meningitis with encephalitis in patients in France. One patient had not traveled outside Paris; the other had traveled to eastern France. Laboratory findings revealed acute West Nile virus infection. The cases occurred days apart, raising concern the virus has spread further in France.
