Spotted fever group rickettsiae associated with ixodid ticks in wild environment in Southern Italy
MicrobiologyOpen, 2018 Ixodidae ticks are vectors and reservoirs of several species of rickettsiae, and tick‐borne rickettsioses are reported worldwide. This study was aimed to verify the distribution of spotted fever group rickettsiae associated with ticks in a wild ...

Vaccine Design and Vaccination Strategies against Rickettsiae
Vaccines, 2021 Rickettsioses are febrile, potentially lethal infectious diseases that are a serious health threat, especially in poor income countries. The causative agents are small obligate intracellular bacteria, rickettsiae.

Molecular and serological evidence of spotted fever group rickettsiae and Borrelia co-infection in Ixodes ricinus and humans in north-eastern Poland [PDF]
Scientific ReportsTick-borne spotted fever group (SFG) rickettsioses are considered emerging vector-borne infectious diseases with potentially severe consequences for public health, particularly in the temperate regions of Europe. The aim of the study was to determine the

Rickettsia Species: Genetic Variability, Vectors, and Rickettsiosis—A Review [PDF]
PathogensRickettsiae are an interesting group of bacteria comprising a large number of obligate intracellular species. The circulation of these bacteria in the environment depends on the presence of vectors (blood-sucking invertebrates) and their hosts.

Plasmids and rickettsial evolution: insight from Rickettsia felis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2007 The genome sequence of Rickettsia felis revealed a number of rickettsial genetic anomalies that likely contribute not only to a large genome size relative to other rickettsiae, but also to phenotypic oddities that have confounded the categorization of R.

Black holes”, “Genome fluidity”, and Evolution of Bacterial Species [PDF]
Reviews in Clinical Medicine, 2022 The formation of the massive deletion of genes called “black holes,” which are detrimental to a pathogenic lifestyle, provides a bacterial evolutionary route that permits a pathogen to augment virulence and host-adaptability.
