Proteins of typhus and spotted fever group rickettsiae [PDF]

Infection and Immunity, 1976
Purified radioactive rickettsiae were obtained from irradiated and cycloheximide-inhibited L cells, and their proteins were analyzed by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Rickettsial species could be distinguished by comparing the relative mobilities of constituent proteins after migration of two differentially labeled preparations in a single gel ...

Clinical case of spotted fever group rickettsiae [PDF]

International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2019
We report a Astrakhan ricketsiosis fever in woman who came from Astrakhan. On admission she had fever, intoxication syndrome, exanthema. In complex examination of blood serum by ELISA were reveled IgM and IgG to Rickettsia conorii on the 15th day of the disease.

Properties of selected rickettsiae of the spotted fever group [PDF]

Infection and Immunity, 1980
Eight strains of spotted fever group rickettsiae were studied to gain insight into the extent of variation of their properties. Two standard strains of Rickettsia rickettsii and one strain of Rickettsia conorii were included among the eight for comparison.

Diagnostic Value of IgA Antibody Measurement in Tick-Borne Spotted Fever (Astrakhan Rickettsial Fever)

Microbiology Spectrum, 2022
Tick-borne spotted fevers caused by Rickettsia occur worldwide. The symptoms of this bacterial infection are similar to those of viral infection, and thus, diagnostic accuracy has special clinical importance.

Molecular detection of Rickettsia africae in Amblyomma ticks collected in cattle from Southern and Central Mozambique

Journal of Infection in Developing Countries, 2020
Introduction: Rickettsia are Gram-negative and obligate intracellular bacteria, which cause typhus and spotted fever-like diseases in humans. In Africa, Rickettsia africae of the Spotted Fever Group Rickettsia (SFGR) is the etiologic agent of the ...

Spotted fever group rickettsiae in ticks in Turkey

Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases, 2014
One hundred twenty-six ticks belonging to 12 tick species were collected from humans, domestic and wild animals, and from the ground as unfed (questing ticks) from distinct localities in Turkey in 2011. Ticks were individually tested by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for Rickettsia spp., amplifying citrate synthase (gltA), and outer membrane protein ...

Restriction of the growth of a nonpathogenic spotted fever group rickettsia [PDF]

FEMS Immunology & Medical Microbiology, 2012
The growth kinetics of pathogenic and nonpathogenic rickettsiae were compared to elucidate the mechanism responsible for the pathogenicity of rickettsiae. Vero and HeLa cells derived from mammals were inoculated with a nonpathogenic species of spotted fever group rickettsia, Rickettsia montanensis, before being infected with the pathogenic species ...

Surface proteins of typhus and spotted fever group rickettsiae [PDF]

Infection and Immunity, 1978
Six proteins, previously established as major constituents of intact organisms, were identified in cell envelopes obtained from intrinsically radiolabeled Rickettsia prowazekii. Extrinsic radioiodination of intact organisms conducted at 0.5 micronM iodide indicated that protein 4 was the most peripheral, although protein 1 also had reactive groups ...

Genetic variation in Australian spotted fever group rickettsiae [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1996
Rickettsiae were isolated by cell culture of buffy coat blood from six patients with spotted fever from southeastern Australia and Flinders Island in Bass Strait. The isolates were genetically compared with two previous Rickettsia australis patient isolates.
