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.

Visual closed dumbbell-mediated isothermal amplification (CDA) for on-site detection of Rickettsia raoultii. [PDF]
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 ...

Detection of Rickettsia raoultii in Vermipsylla alakurt-Like Fleas of Sheep in Northwestern China. [PDF]
Abstract Introduction To date, a total of 2574 validated flea species have been discovered. Vermipsyllidae is a family of fleas that comprises at least eight species. Vermipsylla is a genus of the family Vermipsyllidae within the order Siphonaptera of fleas. Here a novel Vermipsylla species was described, and rickettsial

Rickettsia raoultii–like Bacteria in Dermacentor spp. Ticks, Tibet, China [PDF]
To the Editor: Rickettsia raoultii is an obligate intracellular gram-negative bacterium belonging to the spotted fever group (SFG) of the genus Rickettsia. Genotypes RpA4, DnS14, and DnS28, originally isolated from ticks from Russia in 1999 (1), were designated as Rickettsia raoultii sp. nov. on the basis of phylogenetic analysis (2). R.
