Spotted fever <i>Rickettsia</i> and relapsing fever <i>Borrelia</i> in rodents from southern India

2026-02-16

Abstract excerpt

Bacterial zoonoses constitute a substantial fraction of emerging infectious diseases. In this study, we investigated the presence of pathogenic bacterial genera— Rickettsia, Borrelia, Orientia, Leptospira , and Coxiella —in rodents from southern India. We detected low circulation of Rickettsia (7.26%), Borrelia (6.45%), and Leptospira (0.8%), whereas Orientia and Coxiella were not detected in the rodents sa...
