Abstract excerpt

INTRODUCTION: Rickettsia felis is the causative agent of flea-borne spotted fever (FBSF), an emerging zoonosis. Although there is evidence of FBSF in Greece, fleas, the classic vectors of R. felis, have not been adequately studied. Thus, the aim of this study was to detect and characterize bacteria of genus Rickettsia and especially R. felis from common fleas parasitizing domestic cats and dogs in Greece and...
