Prevalence and Sequence Analysis of Vector-Borne Zoonotic Diseases in Stray Cats in Istanbul. [PDF]

Vet Med Sci
Istanbul, the largest metropolis in Türkiye, is home to a notable population of stray cats. While cats enrich the city's culture, they can also transmit various diseases, posing diagnostic challenges for clinicians. This study aimed to detect infections in stray cats using PCR and sequencing to identify Ehrlichia, Anaplasma, Bartonella, Hepatozoon ...

First detection of Rickettsia felis in Ctenocephalides felis fleas from Italy [PDF]

Clinical Microbiology and Infection, 2009
Members of the genus Rickettsia are commonly associated with haematophagous arthropods such as ticks, fleas or lice. Rickettsia felis is a bacterium belonging to the spotted fever group of the genus Rickettsia. It was first detected by Adams et al. in 1990 [1] in the midgut cells of a cat flea (Ctenocephalides felis), and was later described as a new ...
