Rickettsia felis rickettsiosis in Yucatán
Lancet, The, 2000Summary Three patients with fever, exanthem, headache, and central-nervous-system involvement were diagnosed with Rickettsia felis infection by specific PCR of blood or skin and seroconversion to surrogate Rickettsia antigens. Although R felis's relationship to other Rickettsia species is known and the pathogenic potential of this clade is ...

Rickettsia felis: The Complex Journey of an Emergent Human Pathogen
Trends in Parasitology, 2016 Rickettsia felis is an obligate intracellular bacterium that is different from other officially recognized rickettsial species. It has multiple genes of different origins, an incubation temperature of less than 32°C, and a conjugative plasmid. This Rickettsia is commonly detected in febrile patients in sub-Saharan Africa. R.

Rickettsia felis in Cat Fleas in Taiwan
Vector-Borne and Zoonotic Diseases, 2009We 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 ...
