DOI: 10.1016/j.ttbdis.2017.04.003
Abstract: The geographical overlap of multiple Rickettsia and tick species coincides with the molecular detection of a variety of rickettsial agents in what may be novel tick hosts. However, little is known concerning transmissibility of rickettsial… read more here.
