Evidence for a specific host-endosymbiont relationship between ‘Rickettsia sp. genotype RF2125’ and Ctenocephalides felis orientis infesting dogs in India [PDF]
Parasites & Vectors, 2015 Background Fleas of the genus Ctenocephalides serve as vectors for a number of rickettsial zoonoses, including Rickettsia felis. There are currently no published reports of the presence and distribution of R.

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.

Rickettsia felis in Xenopsylla cheopis, Java, Indonesia
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2006 Rickettsia typhi and R. felis, etiologic agents of murine typhus and fleaborne spotted fever, respectively, were detected in Oriental rat fleas (Xenopsylla cheopis) collected from rodents and shrews in Java, Indonesia. We describe the first evidence of R.

Human Rickettsia felis Infection, Canary Islands, Spain
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2005 We report the first cases of human infection by Rickettsia felis in the Canary Islands. Antibodies against R. felis were found in 5 adsorbed serum samples from 44 patients with clinically suspected rickettsiosis by Western blot serology.

Clinical and laboratorial evidence of Rickettsia felis infections in Latin America [PDF]
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

Parallel Decline of Malaria and Rickettsia felis Infections in Senegal. [PDF]
Am J Trop Med Hyg, 2018 Rickettsia felis is a common emerging pathogen in sub-Saharan Africa. Comparing dynamics of morbidities due to malaria and R. felis infections in two Senegalese villages, we found a strong and significant correlation between them. Malaria morbidity is strongly decreasing because of the implementation of long-lasting insecticidal nets, so we hypothesize

First molecular evidence of Rickettsia spp. in Triatoma rubrofasciata: implications for vector ecology and zoonotic transmission [PDF]
Parasites & VectorsBackground Rickettsia is an emerging global pathogen with incompletely understood transmission cycles. While triatomine bugs are established vectors for Trypanosoma cruzi, their potential role in the ecology of Rickettsia spp. remains unexplored.

Diagnosis of a Rare Rickettsia felis Infection Complicated with Unusual Pericardial Effusion and Cardiac Tamponade Using an mNGS Test [PDF]
Case Reports in Infectious DiseasesThe occurrence of sporadic rickettsial infections has been consistently undervalued and overlooked, primarily owing to a limited emphasis on routine examinations for rickettsioses in clinical practice.
