Statins limit Rickettsia conorii infection in cells
International Journal of Antimicrobial Agents, 2008 Recent data suggest that statins may have a beneficial effect during sepsis. In this study, we tested the effect of lovastatin and pravastatin on the cellular culture of Rickettsia conorii using a quantitative plaque assay model associated with an original image analysis algorithm. Statins added at the time of infection did not modify plaque formation,

Experimental infection of Rhipicephalus sanguineus with Rickettsia conorii conorii [PDF]
Clinical Microbiology and Infection, 2009 Little is known about the relationships between Rickettsia conorii conorii, the agent of Mediterranean spotted fever (MSF), and its main vector, the brown dog tick Rhipicephalus sanguineus [1]. Matsumoto et al. recently reported a high mortality of Rh. sanguineus group ticks infected with R.

Rickettsia conorii entry into Vero cells [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 1995 The entry of rickettsiae into eukaryotic cells is mediated by an induced phagocytosis, but rickettsiae have never been observed in a closed phagocytic vacuole. In this study, Rickettsia conorii entry into Vero cells was observed by transmission electron microscopy during a period of 3 to 20 min after bacterium-cell contact.

Transmission of Rickettsia conorii conorii in naturally infected Rhipicephalus sanguineus [PDF]
Clinical Microbiology and Infection, 2009 Rickettsia conorii conorii is the causative agent of Mediterranean spotted fever (MSF) a life-threatening zoonosis that is endemic in Mediterranean countries [1]. In the early 1930s, Olmer supposed that the vector of disease was the brown dog tick, Rhipicephalus sanguineus.
