Reassessment of the genetic basis of natural rifampin resistance in the genus Rickettsia

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 13, Issue 4, August 2024.
Contrary to previous studies, the natural resistance of Rickettsia, a genus of intracellular bacteria, to the antibiotic rifampin is not solely due to the Leu‐973 residue in the RNA polymerase β subunit. Abstract Rickettsia, a genus of obligate intracellular bacteria, includes species that cause significant human diseases.

Cat fleas (Ctenocephalides felis clade ‘Sydney’) are dominant fleas on dogs and cats in New South Wales, Australia: Presence of flea-borne Rickettsia felis, Bartonella spp. but absence of Coxiella burnetii DNA

Current Research in Parasitology and Vector-Borne Diseases, 2021
The cat flea (Ctenocephalides felis) is the most common flea species parasitising both domestic cats and dogs globally. Fleas are known vectors of zoonotic pathogens such as vector-borne Rickettsia spp. and Bartonella spp.

ACVIM consensus statement on the diagnosis of immune thrombocytopenia in dogs and cats

Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, Volume 38, Issue 4, Page 1958-1981, July/August 2024.
Abstract Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is the most common acquired primary hemostatic disorder in dogs. Immune thrombocytopenia less commonly affects cats but is an important cause of mortality and treatment‐associated morbidity in both species. Immune thrombocytopenia remains a diagnosis of exclusion for which diagnostic guidelines are lacking ...

Ecology of <I>Rickettsia felis</I>: A Review [PDF]

Journal of Medical Entomology, 2009
It has been two decades since the first description of Rickettsia felis, and although a nearly cosmopolitan distribution is now apparent, much of the ecology of this unique microorganism remains unresolved. The cat flea, Ctenocephalides felis, is currently the only known biological vector of R. felis; however, molecular evidence of R.
