Infection by Rickettsia felis in Ctenocephalides felis felis Fleas from North of Colombia [PDF]
Journal of Arthropod-Borne Diseases, 2019 Background: Rickettsia felis is an emergent Rickettsial agent whose main vector is Ctenocephalides felis, but ticks, mites and lice are also infected. We aimed to search for molecular evidence of Rickettsia spp.

Bartonella quintana and Rickettsia felis in Gabon [PDF]
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2005 We detected Rickettsia felis DNA in Ctenocephalides felis and Bartonella quintana DNA in 3 Pulex irritans fleas taken from a pet Cercopithecus cephus monkey in Gabon, sub-Saharan Africa. This is the first report of B. quintana in the human flea.

Differentiation of Rickettsia felis and Rickettsia felis-Like Organisms via Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism Analysis. [PDF]
Vector Borne Zoonotic Dis, 2019 Rickettsia typhi and Rickettsia felis are flea-borne pathogens, which cause murine typhus and flea-borne spotted fever, respectively. Recently, two other flea-borne rickettsiae (phylogenetically similar to R. felis) have been discovered-Rickettsia asembonensis and Candidatus Rickettsia senegalensis.

Seasonal and Gender Differences in Presence of Rickettsia felis and Blood meals Provide Additional Evidence of a Vector Role for Mosquitoes [PDF]
Canadian Journal of Infectious Diseases and Medical Microbiology, 2019 Rickettsia felis belongs to spotted fever group Rickettsia and is an emerging human pathogen most commonly transmitted by a range of fleas and ticks. While recent evidence has suggested mosquitoes are infected with R.
