Survey of vector-borne agents in feral cats and first report of Babesia gibsoni in cats on St Kitts, West Indies [PDF]
, 2017 Background: As there is little data on vector-borne diseases of cats in the Caribbean region and even around the world, we tested feral cats from St Kitts by PCR to detect infections with Babesia, Ehrlichia and spotted fever group Rickettsia (SFGR) and

Genome sequence-based criteria for demarcation and definition of species in the genus Rickettsia.
International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, 2020 Over recent years, genomic information has increasingly been used for prokaryotic species definition and classification. Genome sequence-based alternatives to the gold standard DNA-DNA hybridization (DDH) relatedness have been developed, notably average ...

Identifying Novel Inhibitors of RpFabG in Typhus-inducing Rickettsia prowazekii [PDF]
, 2019 Epidemic typhus is a rickettsial disease that is contracted via ticks and lice found on the flying squirrel. The disease is caused by Rickettsia prowazekii, an intracellular, gram-negative coccobacillus.

Torix Rickettsia are widespread in arthropods and reflect a neglected symbiosis
GigaScience, 2020 Background Rickettsia are intracellular bacteria best known as the causative agents of human and animal diseases. Although these medically important Rickettsia are often transmitted via haematophagous arthropods, other Rickettsia, such as those in the ...

Phylogenies of atpD and recA support the small subunit rRNA-based classification of rhizobia [PDF]
, 2001 The current classification of the rhizobia (root-nodule symbionts) assigns them to six genera. It is strongly influenced by the small subunit (16S, SSU) rRNA molecular phylogeny, but such single-gene phylogenies may not reflect the evolution of the ...
