Challenges posed by tick-borne rickettsiae: eco-epidemiology and public health implications
Frontiers in Public Health, 2015 Rickettsiae are obligately intracellular bacteria that are transmitted to vertebrates by a variety of arthropod vectors, primarily by fleas and ticks.

The neglected challenge: Vaccination against rickettsiae.
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2020 Over the last decades, rickettsioses are emerging worldwide. These diseases are caused by intracellular bacteria. Although rickettsioses can be treated with antibiotics, a vaccine against rickettsiae is highly desired for several reasons.

First Detection of Spotted Fever Group Rickettsiae in Ixodes ricinus from Italy [PDF]
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2002 Ixodes ricinus from Italy were examined for the first time to detect whether rickettsiae were present. Using molecular methods, we detected three different spotted fever group rickettsiae, including Rickettsia helvetica. Our results raise the possibility

GENOMOSYSTEMATICS OF RICKETTSIAE
Инфекция и иммунитет, 2018 The definition of the term genome was given by the German botanist G. Winkler almost one hundred years ago in 1920. A genome definition for bacterial (rickettsia) with a single chromosome was recently presented from the perspective of information ...

Exotic Rickettsiae in Ixodes ricinus: fact or artifact? [PDF]
, 2010 Several pathogenic Rickettsia species can be transmitted via Ixodes ricinus ticks to humans and animals. Surveys of I. ricinus for the presence of Rickettsiae using part of its 16S rRNA gene yield a plethora of new and different Rickettsia sequences ...

‘Rickettsia hulinii’ belongs to the Rickettsia heilongjiangensis species [PDF]
Clinical Microbiology and Infection, 2009 A Rickettsia species has long been defined as a distinct serotype using mouse serotyping. However, owing to a lack of reproducibility and interlaboratory comparability of this method, new taxonomic guidelines, based on multigene amplification and sequencing, have been developed and validated by an international panel of rickettsiology experts [1]. This

Evidence of Q Fever and Rickettsial Disease in Chile
Tropical Medicine and Infectious Disease, 2020 Q fever and rickettsial diseases occur throughout the world and appear to be emergent zoonoses in Chile. The diagnosis of these diseases is currently uncommon in Chile, as their clinical presentations are non-specific and appropriate diagnostic ...
