Advances in Rickettsia Pathogenicity
One century after the first description of rickettsiae as human pathogens, the rickettsiosis remained poorly understood diseases. These microorganisms are indeed characterized by a strictly intracellular location which has, for long, prohibited their detailed study.

DIRECT FLUOROCHROMING OF RICKETTSIAE [PDF]
Several fluorochromes were used to stains directly R. mooseri in smears and tissues. The effects of fixatives, hydrogen ion concentration, time in stain and concentration of stain were studied also. Interference by background fluoresence was minimized by a preliminary staining of fixed preparations with an alcian blue, periodic acid-Schiff sequence ...

Abstract Conventional optical microscopy imaging of obligate intracellular bacteria is hampered by the small size of bacterial cells, tight clustering exhibited by some bacterial species and challenges relating to labelling such as background from host cells, a lack of validated reagents, and a lack of tools for genetic manipulation.

In this review I shall try to provide a brief, up‐to‐date, account of the neuropathology of those viral and rickettsial diseases that are particularly prevalent in tropical regions. These diseases are not, however, exclusive to the tropics. Some, such as AIDS, are common in temperate regions as well, though others are closer to being exclusively ...

Abstract The black abalone, Haliotis cracherodii, is a large, long‐lived marine mollusc that inhabits rocky intertidal habitats along the coast of California and Mexico. In 1985, populations were impacted by a bacterial disease known as withering syndrome (WS) that wiped out >90% of individuals, leading to the closure of all U.S.
