Rickettsia is a genus of nonmotile, gram-negative, nonspore-forming, highly pleomorphic bacteria that can present as cocci (0.1 μm in diameter), rods (1–4 μm long), or thread-like (10 μm long). [igenex.com]

• Acutely Ill Patient

  Here we report the amplification of DNA of R. heilongjiangensis from both the skin biopsy of an acutely ill patient and the tick removed from him prior to the disease development. The tick has been identified as Haemaphysalis spp. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Rickettsia Conorii

  Until recently, it was thought that Mediterranean spotted fever due to Rickettsia conorii was the only tick-borne rickettsiosis in Europe. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Rickettsia Akari

  Other causes of spotted fever group rickettsioses (spotted fevers) in the United States include: Rickettsia parkeri rickettsiosis, caused by R. parkeri Pacific Coast tick fever, caused by Rickettsia species 364D Rickettsialpox, caused by Rickettsia akari [cdc.gov]

  This fragment was chosen because several rickettsial species including Rickettsia conorii, Rickettsia africae, Rickettsia rickettsii, Rickettsia slovaca, and Rickettsia akari show an identical sequence in the selected 16S rRNA gene fragment ( Fournier [doi.org]

Moreover, the recognition of typhus group rickettsiosis is clinically and epidemiologically relevant, as these infections may be associated with a worse prognosis than spotted fevers ( Dumler et al., 1991 ; Bechah et al., 2008). [doi.org]

We also assess the pathogenic potential of rickettsial strains that to date have been associated only with arthropods, and we discuss diseases of unknown etiology that may be rickettsioses. [doi.org]
