Molecular detection and characterization of emerging pathogens of Rickettsia- felis and felis-like organisms from peri-domestic fleas in Uganda

2023-08-11

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> Flea-borne spotted fever is an emerging zoonosis caused by Rikecttsia felis , a Gram-negative obligate intracellular bacterium. The agent is believed to be cosmopolitan, following the distribution pattern of its host and reservoir, Ctenocephalides felis . However, the epidemiology and public health risk it poses remains poorly understood in sub-Saharan Africa, including Uganda. Yersinia pesti...
