Vector Borne and Zoonotic Diseases, 2021 Members of the genus Rickettsia range from nonpathogenic endosymbionts to virulent pathogens such as Rickettsia rickettsii, the causative agent of Rocky Mountain spotted fever. Many rickettsiae are considered nonpathogenic because they have been isolated

‘Rickettsia hulinii’ belongs to the Rickettsia heilongjiangensis species [PDF]
Clinical Microbiology and Infection, 2009 A Rickettsia species has long been defined as a distinct serotype using mouse serotyping. However, owing to a lack of reproducibility and interlaboratory comparability of this method, new taxonomic guidelines, based on multigene amplification and sequencing, have been developed and validated by an international panel of rickettsiology experts [1]. This

Rickettsia lusitaniae in Ornithodoros Porcinus Ticks, Zambia
Pathogens, 2021 Rickettsial pathogens are amongst the emerging and re-emerging vector-borne zoonoses of public health importance. Though traditionally considered to be transmitted by ixodid ticks, the role of argasid ticks as vectors of these pathogens is increasingly ...

Molecular detection of Rickettsia in fleas from micromammals in Chile
Parasites & Vectors, 2020 Background Rickettsial diseases are considered important in public health due to their dispersal capacity determined by the particular characteristics of their reservoirs and/or vectors.
