Typhus Group Rickettsiosis, Germany, 2010–2017
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2018 Typhus group rickettsiosis is caused by the vectorborne bacteria Rickettsia typhi and R. prowazekii. R. typhi, which causes murine typhus, the less severe endemic form of typhus, is transmitted by fleas; R.

Nucleotide sequence of the Rickettsia prowazekii citrate synthase gene [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1987 The Rickettsia prowazekii citrate synthase (gltA) gene, previously cloned in Escherichia coli, was localized to a 2.0-kilobase chromosomal fragment. DNA sequence analysis of a portion of this fragment revealed an open reading frame of 1,308 base pairs that encodes a protein of 435 amino acids with a molecular weight of 49,171.

Luminal Phospholipase D Attacks Bacterial Membranes in Dictyostelium discoideum Phagosomes
Molecular Microbiology, Volume 124, Issue 1, Page 54-65, July 2025.This study shows that PldX, a luminal Phospholipase D, is necessary for the efficient destruction of ingested Klebsiella pneumoniae bacteria in Dictyostelium discoideum phagosomes. PldX and the AlyL lysozyme together attack the bacterial membrane and permeabilize it. To date, the molecular substrate of PldX remains to be determined. ABSTRACT Phagocytic

External layers of Rickettsia prowazekii and Rickettsia rickettsii: occurrence of a slime layer [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 1978 Using a simple specific-antibody stabilization procedure on organisms gently liberated from their host cells, we have demonstrated by electron microscopy that Rickettsia prowazekii and Rickettsia rickettsii possess a coat of variable thickness, external to the outer leaflet of the cell wall and the structure designated by others as a "microcapsule ...

Rapid, simple, and sensitive detection of the ompB gene of spotted fever group rickettsiae by loop-mediated isothermal amplification [PDF]
, 2012 BACKGROUND: Spotted fever caused spotted fever group rickettsiae (SFGR) is prevalent throughout China. In this study, we describe a rapid, simple, and sensitive loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay targeting the ompB gene of spotted fever ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 3, March 2025.The Neopsylla hongyangensis is an important medical insect that transmits plague. We sequenced the mitogenome of N. hongyangensis and constructed a phylogenetic tree for the order Siphonaptera. In addition, we explored the mitogenomic evolution of the orders Siphonaptera and Phthiraptera, which both belong to the class Insects, on warm‐blooded animals ...

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 1, January 2025.GI helminth and lice are highly prevalent in indigenous semi‐scavenging chickens. Seven species of helminths were detected, and Raillietina was predominant. Three species of lice were identified and Menopon gallinae was most abundant. Co‐infection was observed in helminth infections and lice infestation.
