Flagellar Movement in Two Bacteria of the Family Rickettsiaceae: A Re-Evaluation of Motility in an Evolutionary Perspective [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Bacteria of the family Rickettsiaceae have always been largely studied not only for their importance in the medical field, but also as model systems in evolutionary biology. In fact, they share a recent common ancestor with mitochondria. The most studied

Transformation of Rochalimaea quintana, a member of the family Rickettsiaceae. [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1990 Rochalimaea quintana is the only member of the family Rickettsiaceae that can be grown in vitro. Because of its relationship to the other members of this family, techniques developed to transform R. quintana might be applicable to the obligate intracellular bacteria of the Rickettsiaceae.

Host-symbiont conflicts: positive selection on an outer membrane protein of parasitic but not mutualistic Rickettsiaceae. [PDF]
Molecular Biology and Evolution, 2002 The Rickettsiaceae is a family of intracellular bacterial symbionts that includes both vertically transmitted parasites that spread by manipulating the reproduction of their host (Wolbachia in arthropods) and horizontally transmitted parasites (represented by Cowdria ruminantium), and mutualists (Wolbachia pipientis in nematode worms).

Rickettsiaceae, Rickettsia-Like Endosymbionts, and the Origin of Mitochondria
Bioscience Reports, 2001 Accumulating evolutionary data point to a monophyletic origin of mitochondria from the order Rickettsiales. This large group of obligate intracellular α-Proteobacteria includes the family Rickettsiaceae and several rickettsia-like endosymbionts (RLEs).

A bacterial gene acquired by parasitoid wasps contributes to venom secretion against host defence [PDF]
The EMBO JournalHorizontal gene transfer (HGT) is an important source of gene innovation in prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms. Several genes acquired by hosts of parasitoid wasps via HGT have been reported to protect hosts from parasitoid wasps.

Single-cell genomics of a rare environmental alphaproteobacterium provides unique insights into Rickettsiaceae evolution [PDF]
ISME Journal, 2015 Abstract The bacterial family Rickettsiaceae includes a group of well-known etiological agents of many human and vertebrate diseases, including epidemic typhus-causing pathogen Rickettsia prowazekii. Owing to their medical relevance, rickettsiae have attracted a great deal of attention and their host-pathogen interactions have been ...

Cellular tropism, population dynamics, host range and taxonomic status of an aphid secondary symbiont, SMLS (Sitobion miscanthi L type symbiont). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 SMLS (Sitobion miscanthi L type symbiont) is a newly reported aphid secondary symbiont. Phylogenetic evidence from molecular markers indicates that SMLS belongs to the Rickettsiaceae and has a sibling relationship with Orientia tsutsugamushi.
