Significant Growth by Rickettsia Species within Human Macrophage-Like Cells Is a Phenotype Correlated with the Ability to Cause Disease in Mammals

Pathogens, 2021
Rickettsia are significant sources of tick-borne diseases in humans worldwide. In North America, two species in the spotted fever group of Rickettsia have been conclusively associated with disease of humans: Rickettsia rickettsii, the causative agent of ...

Evasion of autophagy mediated by Rickettsia surface protein OmpB is critical for virulence

Nature Microbiology, 2019
Rickettsia are obligate intracellular bacteria that evade antimicrobial autophagy in the host cell cytosol by unknown mechanisms. Other cytosolic pathogens block different steps of autophagy targeting, including the initial step of polyubiquitin-coat ...

Rickettsia sp. DNA recovered from a febrile patient from Papua, Indonesia [PDF]

IDCases
Background: Rickettsia are neglected, arthropod-borne bacteria causing febrile illness of varying severity. Indonesia is endemic for several Rickettsia species, predominantly from murine and scrub typhus groups. Objective: We described here a potentially

Rickettsia felis, an Emerging Flea-Borne Rickettsiosis

Current Tropical Medicine Reports, 2016
Rickettsia felis is an emerging insect-borne rickettsial pathogen and the causative agent of flea-borne spotted fever. First described as a human pathogen from the USA in 1991, R. felis is now identified throughout the world and considered a common cause

Diagnostic Value of IgA Antibody Measurement in Tick-Borne Spotted Fever (Astrakhan Rickettsial Fever)

Microbiology Spectrum, 2022
Tick-borne spotted fevers caused by Rickettsia occur worldwide. The symptoms of this bacterial infection are similar to those of viral infection, and thus, diagnostic accuracy has special clinical importance.

Genomic evolution and adaptation of arthropod-associated Rickettsia

Scientific Reports, 2022
Rickettsia species are endosymbionts hosted by arthropods and are known to cause mild to fatal diseases in humans. Here, we analyse the evolution and diversity of 34 Rickettsia species using a pangenomic meta-analysis (80 genomes/41 plasmids ...

Rickettsia-Host-Tick Interactions: Knowledge Advances and Gaps

Infection and Immunity, 2022
Ticks are hematophagous ectoparasites capable of transmitting multiple human pathogens. Environmental changes have supported the expansion of ticks into new geographical areas that have become the epicenters of tick-borne diseases (TBDs).

Genomic diversity across the Rickettsia and ‘Candidatus Megaira’ genera and proposal of genus status for the Torix group

Nature Communications, 2022
The bacterial genus Rickettsia includes vector-borne pathogens and arthropod symbionts that are close relatives of symbionts of microeukaryotes classified under the genus ‘ Candidatus Megaira’. Here, Davison et al.
