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 ...

Rickettsia felis–associated Uneruptive Fever, Senegal

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2010
During November 2008-July 2009, we investigated the origin of unknown fever in Senegalese patients with a negative malaria test result, focusing on potential rickettsial infection. Using molecular tools, we found evidence for Rickettsia felis-associated illness in the initial days of infection in febrile Senegalese patients without malaria.

Another tool in the toolbox: Aphid‐specific Wolbachia protect against fungal pathogens

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 26, Issue 11, November 2024.
Wolbachia infected more than 80% of Pentalonia aphids sampled across the Hawaiian Islands and other locations. The aphid‐specific M‐supergroup strains of this symbiont protected against a specialist fungal pathogen, Pandora, but not the generalist pathogen Beauveria or the parasitoid Aphidius colemanii.

Assessment of the Risks of Zoonotic Infection at the Primatology Centre of the Interdisciplinary Medical Research Centre of Franceville in Gabon

Journal of Medical Primatology, Volume 53, Issue 5, October 2024.
ABSTRACT Background Non‐human primate (NHPs) conservation sites could be sites of exchange of pathogens involved in infectious diseases. It is important to assess the potential risks associated with this type of structure. The objective of this study was to carry out a risk assessment of the Primatology Centre housed in the Interdisciplinary Centre for

Clinical and laboratorial evidence of Rickettsia felis infections in Latin America

Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical, 2004
After the discovery and initial characterization of Rickettsia felis in 1992 by Azad and cols, and the subsequent first description of a human case of infection in 1994, there have been two communications of human rickettsiosis cases caused by Rickettsia

Is dirofilariosis an emerging conservation threat in wild carnivores across the Palearctic?

Mammal Review, Volume 54, Issue 4, Page 427-440, October 2024.
Phylogenetic distribution of Dirofilaria immitis and Dirofilaria repens infection in Palearctic Carnivora species. Abstract Dirofilaria species are mosquito‐borne filarial nematodes, with a high veterinary and public health importance, but growing evidence also indicates their frequent occurrence in wildlife.

Rickettsia felisin Fleas, Southern Ethiopia, 2010

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2012
To the Editor: Fleas (order Siphonaptera) are obligate hematophagous insects. They are laterally flattened, holometabolous, and wingless ectoparasites. More than 2,500 species of flea, belonging to 16 families and 238 genera, have been described. A minority of these genera live in close association with humans (synanthropic), including fleas of these ...

Occurrence of Rickettsia felis in dog and cat fleas (Ctenocephalides felis) from Italy [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors, 2009
Rickettsia felis is an obligate intracellular bacterium belonging to the spotted fever group, suspected to cause a murine typhus-like illness in humans, with a cosmopolitan distribution. This study was designed to estimate presence and occurrence of this pathogen in fleas collected from dogs and cats in different areas of Italy.

Polyarthritis associated with clinical Hepatozoon felis infection in a domestic cat

Veterinary Record Case Reports, Volume 12, Issue 3, September 2024.
Abstract A 10‐year‐old, female, neutered, domestic shorthair cat was referred for evaluation of lethargy and pyrexia, unresponsive to treatment with meloxicam, potentiated amoxicillin and marbofloxacin. Radiographs of the elbows and tarsi revealed marked periosteal reaction and joint effusion.
