Replication Kinetics of Rickettsia raoultii in Tick Cell Lines [PDF]
Rickettsia raoultii is one of the causative agents of tick-borne lymphadenopathy in humans. This bacterium was previously isolated and propagated in tick cell lines; however, the growth characteristics have not been investigated.

Rickettsia raoultii in Haemaphysalis erinacei from marbled polecats, China–Kazakhstan border [PDF]
We found Rickettsia raoultii DNA in 2 out of 32 (6.25 %) Haemaphysalis erinacei ticks. Result showed that the sequences of five genes (17-kDa, gltA, ompA, rrs, and ompB) were 100 % identity with that of R. Raoultii in GenBank.

First molecular diagnosis of the human pathogen Rickettsia raoultii and other spotted fever group rickettsiae in Sudanese ixodid ticks from domestic ruminants [PDF]
In 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.

Molecular evidence of Rickettsia raoultii, “Candidatus Rickettsia barbariae” and a novel Babesia genotype in marbled polecats (Vormela peregusna) at the China-Kazakhstan border [PDF]
In this study, two road-killed marbled polecats (Vormela peregusna) were molecularly analysed for tick-borne pathogens. Rickettsia raoultii, “Candidatus Rickettsia barbariae” and a novel Babesia genotype have been identified, for the first time in ...
