RickA Expression Is Not Sufficient to Promote Actin-Based Motility of Rickettsia raoultii [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2008 BACKGROUND: Rickettsia raoultii is a novel Rickettsia species recently isolated from Dermacentor ticks and classified within the spotted fever group (SFG). The inability of R. raoultii to spread within L929 cells suggests that this bacterium is unable to

Visual closed dumbbell-mediated isothermal amplification (CDA) for on-site detection of Rickettsia raoultii [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2022 Spotted fever group (SFG) rickettsioses are important zoonoses, threatening human health seriously and gradually attracting more attention in the world. SFG rickettsiae are classified as neglected pathogens. If these pathogens are detected at all, they are usually recognized very late in the infection through indirect detection of specific antibodies ...
