Front Cell Infect Microbiol, 2022 We identified four flea-borne spotted fever cases caused by Rickettsia felis in a retrospective survey of 182 patients with fever of unknown origin (FUO) in China between 2021 and 2022. The clinical signs and symptoms of the patients were similar to those of other rickettsioses, including fever, rash, and liver and kidney dysfunction. All four patients

The role of cofeeding arthropods in the transmission of Rickettsia felis. [PDF]
PLoS Negl Trop Dis, 2022 Rickettsia felis is an emerging etiological agent of rickettsioses worldwide. The cosmopolitan cat flea (Ctenocephalides felis) is the primary vector of R. felis, but R. felis has also been reported in other species of hematophagous arthropods including ticks and mosquitoes.
