Rickettsia felis in Cat Fleas in Taiwan

Vector-Borne and Zoonotic Diseases, 2009
We describe the first detection of Rickettsia felis in cat fleas (Ctenocephalides felis) in Taiwan. Natural infections of R. felis in cat fleas were isolated and confirmed using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and an immunofluorescence assay. The infection rate in individual fleas and the minimum infection rate in pooled fleas detected by the PCR ...

FIRST DETECTION OF RICKETTSIA FELIS IN CTENOCEPHALIDES FELIS FLEAS PARASITIZING RATS IN CYPRUS

The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2006
Rickettsia felis was identified by polymerase chain reaction amplification and DNA sequencing analysis in Ctenocephalides felis fleas parasitizing rats in Cyprus. Murine typhus caused by R. typhi was believed to be the only flea-transmitted rickettsiosis on the island. This is the first report of this pathogen in southeastern Europe.
