Abstract excerpt
Flea-borne spotted fever and flea-borne (murine) typhus are rickettsioses caused by Rickettsia felis and Rickettsia typhi, respectively, and typically present as undifferentiated febrile illnesses. The relative contribution of these agents to flea-borne rickettsioses in California is unclear. We have developed a duplex reverse transcription real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-rtPCR) assay targeting R. felis-...
