Rickettsia infection in five areas of the state of São Paulo, Brazil
Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2007 This study investigated rickettsial infection in animals, humans, ticks, and fleas collected in five areas of the state of São Paulo. Eight flea species (Adoratopsylla antiquorum antiquorum, Ctenocephalides felis felis, Polygenis atopus, Polygenis ...

Rickettsia felisin the United Kingdom
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2003 To the Editor: Rickettsia felis is a bacterium transmitted by the cat flea (Ctenocephalides felis), which also acts as a reservoir by means of transovarial transmission (1–3). The distribution of R. felis is potentially as wide as that of its insect host, and to date, its presence has been confirmed in cat flea populations in North and South America ...

Molecular evidence for the presence of Rickettsia Felis in the feces of wild-living African apes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Rickettsia felis is a common emerging pathogen detected in mosquitoes in sub-Saharan Africa. We hypothesized that, as with malaria, great apes may be exposed to the infectious bite of infected mosquitoes and release R.

Variations of Plasmid Content in Rickettsia felis
PLoS ONE, 2008 Since its first detection, characterization of R. felis has been a matter of debate, mostly due to the contamination of an initial R. felis culture by R. typhi. However, the first stable culture of R. felis allowed its precise phenotypic and genotypic characterization, and demonstrated that this species belonged to the spotted fever group rickettsiae ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.Two distinct lineages of L. invasa and the dominant endosymbiont, Rickettsia, was identified, followed by an analysis of its infection density across various developmental stages and tissues of L. invasa. Furthermore, two distinct strains of the Rickettsia endosymbiont were detected, and the phylogenetic relationships between these strains and their L.

New Microbes and New Infections, 2018 Rickettsia felis, the causative agent of flea-borne spotted fever, occurs on all continents except Antarctica, owing to the cosmopolitan distribution of its cat flea vector. In this study, cat fleas were collected in two countries where the occurrence of

Melting curve analysis to differentiate Rickettsia spp. and Rickettsia felis
IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2021 Abstract Rickettsiosis, caused by Rickettsia species, is one of the old arthropod-borne illness that commonly found in humans and animals. One of the barriers to rickettsiosis control is the intricacy and time-consuming nature of rickettsiosis laboratory diagnosis.
