Successful Detection of Unrecognized Rickettsia typhi in Pregnancy Using Cell‐Free Next‐Generation Sequencing

Case Reports in Obstetrics and Gynecology, Volume 2020, Issue 1, 2020., 2020
Flea‐borne (murine) typhus is caused by Rickettsia typhi. Infection in pregnant women can lead to adverse outcomes when diagnosis and treatment is delayed. We describe how next‐generation sequencing (NGS) using the Karius® test was used to rapidly diagnose murine typhus in two pregnant women admitted to a large tertiary care center in Houston, Texas ...

Epidemiology of Acute Q Fever, Scrub Typhus, and Murine Typhus, and Identification of Their Clinical Characteristics Compared to Patients with Acute Febrile Illness in Southern Taiwan

Journal of the Formosan Medical Association, 2009
In Taiwan, acute Q fever, scrub typhus, and murine typhus (QSM diseases) are the most common rickettsioses, but their epidemiology and clinical characteristics have not been clarified. Diagnosis of these three diseases based on clinical manifestations is

Severe Murine Typhus with Pulmonary System Involvement

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2014
We encountered a case of severe murine typhus complicated by acute respiratory distress syndrome. To determine worldwide prevalence of such cases, we reviewed the literature and found that respiratory symptoms occur in ≈30% of murine typhus patients.

Epidemiology of Plague: Problems with the Use of Mathematical Epidemiological Models in Plague Research and the Question of Transmission by Human Fleas and Lice

Canadian Journal of Infectious Diseases and Medical Microbiology, Volume 2019, Issue 1, 2019., 2019
This article addresses the recent use of mathematical epidemiological SIR or SEIR models in plague research. This use of S(E)IR models is highly problematic, but the problems are not presented and considered. Serious problems show in that such models are used to “prove” that historical plague was a (1) Filoviridae disease and (2) a bacterial disease ...

Rickettsiales in South America: A Systematic Review of Their Molecular Detection and Distribution in Arthropods and Vertebrates

Public Health Challenges, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Bacteria of the order Rickettsiales comprise a diverse group of obligate intracellular microorganisms that are globally distributed and highly prevalent in tropical and subtropical regions. In South America, these bacteria have been associated with arthropod vectors, such as ticks, fleas, mites, lice, and certain dipterans, as well as with a ...

Spotted fever group rickettsiae associated with ixodid ticks in wild environment in Southern Italy

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 7, Issue 1, February 2018., 2018
Tick‐borne rickettsioses are an important public health problem; however, their diagnosis remains challenging. Spotted fever group rickettsiae were investigated in hard ticks using two different molecular approaches. A total of four zoonotic rickettsiae were detected. Abstract Ixodidae ticks are vectors and reservoirs of several species of rickettsiae,

Scrub Typhus: Historic Perspective and Current Status of the Worldwide Presence of Orientia Species

, 2020
Scrub typhus and its etiological agents, Orientia species, have been around for a very long time. Historical reference to the rickettsial disease scrub typhus was first described in China (313 AD) by Hong Ge in a clinical manual (Zhouhofang) and in Japan

Infection Risk From Humans and Animals in the Anatomy Laboratory: A Scoping Review

Clinical Anatomy, Volume 39, Issue 3, Page 346-367, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Whole‐body dissection is a cornerstone of anatomy education. During and following the COVID‐19 pandemic, exposure to infectious agents and other risks of dissection were highlighted. To identify potential risks, one must have the data outlining these risks in specific situations.
