Rickettsiae are obligate intracellular bacteria that can cause life-threatening illnesses. There is an ongoing debate as to whether established infections by one Rickettsia species preclude the maintenance of the second species in ticks. Here, we identified two Rickettsia species in inoculum from Haemaphysalis montgomeryi ticks and subsequently ...

New Real-Time PCRs to Differentiate Rickettsia spp. and Rickettsia conorii
Rickettsia species are an important cause of emerging infectious diseases in people and animals, and rickettsiosis is one of the oldest known vector-borne diseases. Laboratory diagnosis of Rickettsia is complex and time-consuming. This study was aimed at

Inflammasome-mediated antagonism of type I interferon enhances Rickettsia pathogenesis
The innate immune system fights infection with inflammasomes and interferons. Facultative bacterial pathogens that inhabit the host cytosol avoid inflammasomes1–6 and are often insensitive to type I interferons (IFN-I), but are restricted by IFN-γ7–11 ...
