Abstract excerpt

Since its recognition in 1994 as the causative agent of human flea-borne spotted fever, Rickettsia felis, has been detected worldwide in over 40 different arthropod species. The cat flea, Ctenocephalides felis, is a well-described biological vector of R. felis. Unique to insect-borne rickettsiae, R. felis can employ multiple routes of infection including inoculation via salivary secretions and potentially...
