First molecular diagnosis of the human pathogen Rickettsia raoultii and other spotted fever group rickettsiae in Sudanese ixodid ticks from domestic ruminants [PDF]
Vet Med SciIn this manuscript, the authors collected ixodid ticks and examined the presence of Rickettsia species by PCR. By performing sequencing and phylogenetic analysis, the authors identified the presence of four different Rickettsia species in three tick species found on three mammalian hosts.
