Coinfection of Two Rickettsia Species in a Single Tick Species Provides New Insight into Rickettsia-Rickettsia and Rickettsia-Vector Interactions

Microbiology Spectrum, 2022
Rickettsiae are obligate intracellular bacteria that can cause life-threatening illnesses. There is an ongoing debate as to whether established infections by one Rickettsia species preclude the maintenance of the second species in ticks.
