DOI: 10.1016/j.ttbdis.2017.10.004
Abstract: Rodents are hosts of numerous pathogenic agents of public health importance globally. Their ability to harbor these pathogens without showing overt clinical signs of disease has epidemiologic consequences. In some rural settings in Nigeria, humans… read more here.

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.1911922116
Abstract: Significance Genetic analysis of Rickettsia has been difficult. We developed a transposon and selection scheme to facilitate the isolation of Rickettsia conorii mutants with insertional lesions. Here, we demonstrate that the R. conorii polysaccharide synthesis… read more here.

DOI: 10.3201/eid2904.221176
Abstract: Hamadryas baboons (Papio hamadryas) may transmit zoonotic vector-borne pathogens to visitors and workers frequenting zoological parks. We molecularly screened 33 baboons for vector-borne pathogens. Three (9.1%) of 33 animals tested positive for Rickettsia conorii subspecies… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/ijms24044008
Abstract: Small regulatory RNAs (sRNAs) are now widely recognized for their role in the post-transcriptional regulation of bacterial virulence and growth. We have previously demonstrated the biogenesis and differential expression of several sRNAs in Rickettsia conorii… read more here.
