Microbiology spectrum, 2022 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 ...
