Prevalence and infection load dynamics of Rickettsia felis in actively feeding cat fleas. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2008
Rickettsia felis is a flea-associated rickettsial pathogen recurrently identified in both colonized and wild-caught cat fleas, Ctenocephalides felis. We hypothesized that within colonized fleas, the intimate relationship between R. felis and C.

The role of cofeeding arthropods in the transmission of Rickettsia felis.

open access: yesPLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2022
Rickettsia felis is an emerging etiological agent of rickettsioses worldwide. The cosmopolitan cat flea (Ctenocephalides felis) is the primary vector of R. felis, but R.

Transposon mutagenesis of Rickettsia felis sca1 confers a distinct phenotype during flea infection.

open access: yesPLoS Pathogens, 2022
Since its recognition in 1994 as the causative agent of human flea-borne spotted fever, Rickettsia felis, has been detected worldwide in over 40 different arthropod species. The cat flea, Ctenocephalides felis, is a well-described biological vector of R.

Same Viewpoint Different Perspectives—A Comparison of Expert Ratings with a TLS Derived Forest Stand Structural Complexity Index

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2019
Forests are one of the most important terrestrial ecosystems for the protection of biodiversity, but at the same time they are under heavy production pressures. In many cases, management optimized for timber production leads to a simplification of forest

Molecular evidence for the presence of Rickettsia Felis in the feces of wild-living African apes. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
Rickettsia felis is a common emerging pathogen detected in mosquitoes in sub-Saharan Africa. We hypothesized that, as with malaria, great apes may be exposed to the infectious bite of infected mosquitoes and release R.

Prevalence of Cytauxzoon felis Infection-Carriers in Eastern Kansas Domestic Cats

open access: yesPathogens, 2020
Cytauxzoon felis is a hemoprotozoal tick-transmitted pathogen of felids. Felids that survive acute disease often remain infected and serve as reservoirs for subsequent tick transmission to other susceptible felines.
