Nonselective Persistence of a Rickettsia conorii Extrachromosomal Plasmid during Mammalian Infection

, 2016
Scientific analysis of the genus Rickettsia is undergoing a rapid period of change with the emergence of viable genetic tools. The development of these tools for the mutagenesis of pathogenic bacteria will permit forward genetic analysis of Rickettsia ...

Serological Screening of Rickettsia conorii and Rickettsia slovaca Infection in Wild Rodents from Castilla-La Mancha, Spain

Zoonoses
This work was aimed at increasing epidemiological knowledge of Rickettsia conorii and Rickettsia slovaca in a geographical area in Castilla-La Mancha (Spain) lacking prior data, through a seroprevalence study in potential wild rodent reservoirs.

Rickettsia conorii and R. Promazekii Proteome analysis by 2DE-MS : A step toward functional analysis of Rickettsial genomes

, 2005
International audienceIn this work, we present a comparative two-dimensional (2D) PAGE analysis of Rickettsia conorii and Rickettsia prowazekii. This analysis reveals protein spots that were either unique to or common to both strains, some of them being ...

Identification of Rickettsia spp. in Ticks Removed from Tick-Bitten Humans in Northwestern Spain

Insects
Tick-borne rickettsioses (TBRs) are distributed worldwide and are recognized as important emerging vector-borne zoonotic diseases in Europe. The aim of this study was to identify tick-associated Rickettsia among ticks removed from humans, and to track ...
