Tropism and pathogenicity of rickettsiae [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2012 Rickettsiae are obligate intracellular parasitic bacteria that cause febrile exanthematous illnesses such as Rocky Mountain spotted fever, Mediterranean spotted fever, epidemic and murine typhus, etc. Although the vector ranges of each Rickettsia species

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.

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 ...

Surveillance of vector-borne infections: Dogs as sentinel animals for Orientia and Rickettsia exposure in five regions in Chile [PDF]
One HealthDomestic dogs have been proposed as sentinels for various infectious diseases, including rickettsial infections. In Chile, the only endemic human rickettsiosis is scrub typhus caused by Candidatus Orientia chiloensis, an emerging infectious disease ...

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.
