Evolution and diversity of Rickettsia bacteria.

BMC biology - 2 Feb 2009

Weinert Lucy A, Werren John H, Aebi Alexandre, Stone Graham N, Jiggins Francis M

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Rickettsia are intracellular symbionts of eukaryotes that are best known for infecting and causing serious diseases in humans and other mammals. All known vertebrate-associated Rickettsia are vectored by arthropods as part of their life-cycle, and many other Rickettsia are found exclusively in arthropods with no known secondary host. However, little is known about the biology of these latter strains....
