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.

An update on the detection and treatment of Rickettsia felis

Research and Reports in Tropical Medicine, 2012
Rickettsia felis was described as a human pathogen almost two decades ago, and human infection is currently reported in 18 countries in all continents. The distribution of this species is worldwide, determined by the presence of the main arthropod vector, Ctenocephalides felis (Bouché). The list of symptoms, which includes fever, headache, myalgia, and

Rickettsia felis in Ctenocephalides felis felis from Five Geographic Regions of Brazil [PDF]

The American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2014
This study evaluated rickettsial infection in 701 Ctenocephalides felis felis fleas that were collected from dogs and cats in 31 municipalities, encompassing all regions and major biomes of Brazil. A total of 268 (38.2%) fleas from 30 municipalities were polymerase chain reaction (PCR) positive for the rickettsial gltA gene.

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.
