recommendations! Published in 2024 at "MicrobiologyOpen"

DOI: 10.1002/mbo3.1431

Abstract: Rickettsia, a genus of obligate intracellular bacteria, includes species that cause significant human diseases. This study challenges previous claims that the Leucine‐973 residue in the RNA polymerase beta subunit is the primary determinant of rifampin… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00248-019-01417-4

Abstract: Facultative, intracellular bacterial symbionts of arthropods may dramatically affect host biology and reproduction. The length of these symbiont-host associations may be thousands to millions of years, and while symbiont loss is predicted, there have been… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00436-021-07128-5

Abstract: Deer encompass a group of large-sized vertebrates that serve as hosts for a wide variety of ectoparasites, mainly ticks. In Mexico, ticks have relevance as vectors of pathogenic microorganisms, and 20 species of hard ticks… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.actatropica.2017.03.028

Abstract: Spotted fever is an acute febrile illness, which is considered severely underreported and misdiagnosed in the Brazilian Pampa, caused by tick-borne Rickettsiae. Here, we report an eco-epidemiological investigation of Rickettsia spp. in ticks from a… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ijppaw.2021.04.009

Abstract: Hedgehogs are synanthropic mammals, reservoirs of several vector-borne pathogens and hosts of ectoparasites. Arthropod-borne pathogens (i.e., Rickettsia spp., Borrelia spp., and Anaplasmataceae) were molecularly investigated in ectoparasites collected on hedgehogs (n = 213) from Iran… read more here.
