Typhus Group Rickettsiae Antibodies in Rural Mexico
However, rather than suggesting that a single case report “contradicts” the anterior horn cell hypothesis, we suggest that WNV-associated flaccid paralysis be viewed as having a spectrum of causes, one of which certainly is poliomyelitis like illness. The neuropathologic findings in poliomyelitis (due to poliovirus, WNV, or other viruses) are not restricted focally to the anterior horn cells (5...
متن کاملSurface proteins of typhus and spotted fever group rickettsiae.
Six proteins, previously established as major constituents of intact organisms, were identified in cell envelopes obtained from intrinsically radiolabeled Rickettsia prowazekii. Extrinsic radioiodination of intact organisms conducted at 0.5 micronM iodide indicated that protein 4 was the most peripheral, although protein 1 also had reactive groups exposed on the surface of the organisms. A 10-f...
متن کاملRespiration of Typhus Rickettsiae
Partially purified suspensions of typhus rickettsiae have been shown to exhibit metabolic activity as evidenced by consumption of oxygen and production of carbon dioxide in the presence of glutamate. Similar activity at a much lower rate occurs in the presence of pyruvate. The rate of oxygen uptake was directly proportional to the concentration of viable rickettsiae, as estimated by their toxic...
متن کاملBartonella quintana and Typhus Group Rickettsiae Exposure among Homeless Persons, Bogotá, Colombia
In 2015, we investigated Bartonella quintana and typhus group rickettsiae in body lice from homeless persons in Bogotá, Colombia. We found B. quintana-infected body lice and seroprevalence of this microorganism in 19% of homeless persons and typhus group rickettsiae in 56%. Public health professionals should start preemptive measures and active vector control.
متن کاملHigh Seroprevalence for Typhus Group Rickettsiae, Southwestern Tanzania
Rickettsioses caused by typhus group rickettsiae have been reported in various African regions. We conducted a cross-sectional survey of 1,227 participants from 9 different sites in the Mbeya region, Tanzania; overall seroprevalence of typhus group rickettsiae was 9.3%. Risk factors identified in multivariable analysis included low vegetation density and highway proximity.
