GFPuv-Expressing Recombinant Rickettsia typhi: a Useful Tool for the Study of Pathogenesis and CD8+ T Cell Immunology in R. typhi Infection. [PDF]
Infect Immun, 2017 ABSTRACT Rickettsia typhi is the causative agent of endemic typhus, a disease with increasing incidence worldwide that can be fatal. Because of its obligate intracellular life style, genetic manipulation of the pathogen is difficult.

Rickettsia typhi and R. felis in Rat Fleas (Xenopsylla cheopis), Oahu, Hawaii
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2008 Rickettsia typhi (prevalence 1.9%) and R. felis (prevalence 24.8%) DNA were detected in rat fleas (Xenopsylla cheopis) collected from mice on Oahu Island, Hawaii. The low prevalence of R. typhi on Oahu suggests that R. felis may be a more common cause of

Comparison of in vitro antibiotic susceptibility testing of R. typhi using plaque assay and quantitative real-time PCR [PDF]
Microbiology SpectrumMurine typhus, caused by Rickettsia typhi, is a globally distributed flea-borne disease. Antimicrobial susceptibility data are largely based on reference strains, with little evaluation of variability across clinical isolates.
