() is a Gram-positive bacterium and the main culprit behind zoonotic outbreaks, posing a serious threat to public health. The prevalent strains in China are mainly of sequence types (ST) 1 and 7, with few cases of human infections caused by other sequence type being reported. This study presents the first isolation of a ST25 strain from the blood of a septicemic patient.

- Lepidoptera, which includes moths and butterflies, is characterized by female heterogamy (Z0 or ZW), differing from most insects that exhibit male heterogamy (XY).
- Recent research has clarified the structure of the W chromosome in female Lepidoptera, revealing a 10.1 megabase chromosome and identifying 3,593 previously unannotated genes.
- The study finds that the W chromosome in Ditrysia species likely evolved through multiple mechanisms, supporting the idea of independent origins rather than a single ancestral lineage.
