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.
