New Microbes and New Infections, 2023 Background: The Ixodes ricinus tick is the main vector of Borrelia burgdorferi and tick-borne encephalitis virus in Switzerland. Spotted fever group Rickettsiae (SFG) and Anaplasma phagocytophilum have been detected in Swiss ticks, however, information ...

‘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

Epidemiology and diagnosis of rickettsioses in animal hosts and tick vectors [PDF]
Bulgarian Journal of Veterinary Medicine, 2019 Rickettsioses are emerging and reemerging vector-borne global diseases with zoonotic importance. The aim of this review is to give an overview on the epidemiology and diagnosis of rickettsial infec-tion in animal hosts and tick vectors.

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 ...

THE CYTOLOGY OF RICKETTSIAE [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Medicine, 1949 Internal structures of rickettsiae seen with phase contrast microscopy and in the electron microscope contain desoxyribonucleic acid and are therefore nuclear structures similar to those found in bacteria. They are minute spherical bodies, either single as in spherical rickettsiae or varying in number from 2 to 4 in rod-shaped forms.

Novel Rickettsia spp. in two common overwintering North American songbirds
Emerging Microbes and Infections, 2022 American robins and dark-eyed juncos migrate across North America and have been found to be competent hosts for some bacterial and viral pathogens, but their contributions to arthropod-borne diseases more broadly remain poorly characterized.

Inactivation of rickettsiae [PDF]
European Journal of Microbiology and Immunology, 2013 A reliable and complete inactivation is an indispensable premise for any concentration of rickettsiae or for the development of diagnostic strategies based on their antigens. This study deals with the testing of methods to inactivate rickettsiae. Rickettsia honei was used as a model organism.

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.

Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases, 2017 Tick-borne diseases represent a large proportion of infectious diseases that have become a world health concern. The presence of Rickettsia spp. was evaluated by standard PCR and sequencing in 123 ticks collected from several mammals and vegetation in Sardinia, Italy.

Microbiology Spectrum, 2022 Rickettsiae are obligate intracellular bacteria that can cause life-threatening illnesses. There is an ongoing debate as to whether established infections by one Rickettsia species preclude the maintenance of the second species in ticks.
