Spotted Fever Group Rickettsiae in and Ticks in Italy
European Journal of Inflammation, 2006 In this study Ixodes ricinus and Haemaphysalis punctata ticks are examined. For the first time we detected Rickettsia conorii in I. ricinus and H. punctata , and Rickettsia sibirica in I. ricinus.

Development of a duplex real-time PCR for the detection of Rickettsia spp. and typhus group rickettsia in clinical samples. [PDF]
, 2011 Molecular diagnosis using real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) may allow earlier diagnosis of rickettsiosis. We developed a duplex real-time PCR that amplifies (1) DNA of any rickettsial species and (2) DNA of both typhus group rickettsia, that is ...

Evaluation of a new serological test for the detection of anti-Coxiella and anti-Rickettsia antibodies. [PDF]
, 2015 Coxiella burnetii and members of the genus Rickettsia are obligate intracellular bacteria. Since cultivation of these organisms requires dedicated techniques, their diagnosis usually relies on serological or molecular biology methods.

Characterization of spotted fever group Rickettsiae in ticks from a city park of Rome, Italy
Annali dell'Istituto Superiore di Sanità, 2015 BACKGROUND: Ticks are vectors and important reservoirs for microbial agents that cause disease in humans and animals. Among these pathogens, the members of Rickettsia species play an important role in public health.

In vitro susceptibilities of Rickettsia rickettsii and Rickettsia conorii to roxithromycin and pristinamycin [PDF]
Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 1989 In vitro susceptibilities of Rickettsia rickettsii and Rickettsia conorii to roxithromycin, pristinamycin, and the pristinamycin compounds, P1 and P2, were determined by a dye uptake assay and a plaque assay. The MICs were 1 microgram/ml for roxithromycin, 2 micrograms/ml for pristinamycin, greater than 256 micrograms/ml for P1, and 2 micrograms/ml for

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

Seroprevalence of Rickettsia typhi and Rickettsia conorii infections in the Canary Islands (Spain) [PDF]
International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2011 The aim of this work was to evaluate the prevalence of past infection due to Rickettsia typhi and Rickettsia conorii in the Canary Islands (Spain).A representative sample of the population of the seven islands, formed of 662 people aged between 5 and 75 years (368 females, 294 males), was analyzed.
