In 1911, McNaught reported an anomalous form of ‘paratyphoid’ occurring in South Africa, consisting of fever and a profuse rash in patients reporting having been bitten by ticks prior to the onset of symptoms.45,46By the1930s, it was thought that two spotted fever group (SFG) rickettsios...
Rickettsiosis is a pathogenic bacterial infection which is rarely identified as a cause of illness in patients presenting with common symptoms such as fever and headache. In any case, rickettsiae are difficult to diagnose especially in h... J Wairimu Thiga 被引量: 0发表: 2015年 加载更多0...
In humans, flea-borne typhus, formerly called murine typhus, may cause fever, chills, headaches and muscle pain — symptoms that tend to set in six to 14 days after contact with an infected flea. Nausea, vomiting or coughing may also be present. Untreated, the ...
Murine typhus shares symptoms with many other diseases and can be incorrectly diagnosed if a specific blood test is not performed. Can dogs get typhus? What is Typhus? Typhus is a serious bacterial disease caused by an infection from bacteria known as rickettsias. Both dogs and humans can ...

Scrub typhus, acute infectious disease in humans that is caused by the parasite Orientia tsutsugamushi and is transmitted to humans by the bite of certain kinds of trombiculid mites, or chiggers. Learn about the transmission, symptoms, and treatment of s
From the five people born in Bombay, three were skin reactive positive to O. tsutsugamushi antigens; and interestingly, the two people whose parents were from Bombay, but who were born in and never traveled outside of eastern Africa, were also positive. These results suggested the presence of...
Intradermal models of infection mimic the natural mode of transmission, but often display slower/delayed kinetics of bacterial trafficking and onset of outward clinical symptoms. Consequently, the efforts to develop a murine model of O. tsutsugamushi that is broadly applicable to human scrub typhus ...
