SPOTTED FEVER GROUP RICKETTSIA IN DOGS IN JAPAN
Prevalence of antibody against spotted fever group-rickettsia in dogs (14/134) from the northern part of Shikoku Island, where spotted fever group rickettsia infection in human is endemic, is significantly higher than that in dogs (4/189) from nonendemic areas.

Serological evidence of exposure to Rickettsia felis and Rickettsia typhi in Australian veterinarians [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Rickettsia felis and Rickettsia typhi are emerging arthropod-borne zoonoses causing fever and flu-like symptoms. Seroprevalence and risk factors associated with exposure to these organisms was explored in Australian veterinarians.

Genetic Classification of “Rickettsia heilongjiangii” and “Rickettsia hulinii,” Two Chinese Spotted Fever Group Rickettsiae [PDF]
To determine the phylogenetic position of two new rickettsial strains isolated from ticks in China, 16S ribosomal DNA,gltA, and ompA (apart from the tandem repeat units) genes were amplified by PCR and sequenced. The phylogenetic relationships between these strains and other rickettsiae were inferred from the comparison of sequences of the three genes ...

Note: Rickettsia slovaca sp. nov., a member of the spotted fever group rickettsiae [PDF]
The name Rickettsia slovaca sp. nov. (type strain is strain B) is proposed for a member of the spotted fever group (SFG) rickettsiae which was isolated from Dermacentor marginatus ticks in Slovakia in 1968, and was recently implicated in human febrile illness.
