Rickettsia felis in Ctenocephalides felis from Guatemala and Costa Rica [PDF]

The American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2012
Rickettsia felis is an emerging human pathogen associated primarily with the cat flea Ctenocephalides felis. In this study, we investigated the presence of Rickettsia felis in C. felis from Guatemala and Costa Rica. Ctenocephalides felis were collected directly from dogs and cats, and analyzed by polymerase chain reaction for Rickettsia-specific ...

Dissemination of bloodmeal acquired Rickettsia felis in cat fleas, Ctenocephalides felis [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors, 2013
Cat fleas, Ctenocephalides felis, are known biological vectors for Rickettsia felis. Rickettsial transmission can be vertical via transovarial transmission within a flea population, as well as horizontal between fleas through a bloodmeal. The previously undescribed infection kinetics of bloodmeal-acquired R. felis in cat fleas provides insight into the

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 ...

Feline vector-borne pathogens in the north and centre of Portugal [PDF]

, 2013
Background: In recent years, several clinical cases and epidemiological studies of feline vector-borne diseases (FVBD) have been reported worldwide. Nonetheless, information on FVBD agents and their prevalence in Portugal is scarce.

Can we continue research in splenectomized dogs? Mycoplasma haemocanis: Old problem - New insight [PDF]

, 2004
We report the appearance of a Mycoplasma haemocanis infection in laboratory dogs, which has been reported previously, yet, never before in Europe. Outbreak of the disease was triggered by a splenectomy intended to prepare the dogs for a hemorrhagic shock

Rickettsia felisand Changing Paradigms about Pathogenic Rickettsiae

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2014
To the Editor: Mediannikov et al. recently reported several features common to the epidemiology of Rickettsia felis infection and malaria in Africa (1). Similar to the findings of several other recent studies in Africa (2,3), the authors diagnosed R. felis infection in febrile—and to a lesser extent in afebrile—persons by detecting R.

Rickettsia felis, an Emerging Flea-Borne Rickettsiosis. [PDF]

Curr Trop Med Rep, 2016
Rickettsia felis is an emerging insect-borne rickettsial pathogen and the causative agent of flea-borne spotted fever. First described as a human pathogen from the USA in 1991, R. felis is now identified throughout the world and considered a common cause of fever in Africa.

Molecular detection of hemoprotozoa and Rickettsia species in arthropods collected from wild animals in the Burgos Province, Spain [PDF]

, 2010
Limited information on the presence of bacterial and hematozoan infections in parasitic arthropods from Spain is available. In an attempt to address this issue, the prevalence of Theileria, Babesia, Hepatozoon, and Rickettsia species was investigated by ...
