Rhipicephalus sanguineus: vector of a new spotted fever group rickettsia in the United States.
A rickettsia related to but distinct from the spotted fever agent, Rickettsia rickettsii, has been detected in 167 (18.9%) of 884 Rhipicephalus sanguineus taken off dogs in central and northern Mississippi.

متن کاملSerological typing of spotted fever group Rickettsia isolates from Zimbabwe.
Eight rickettsialike organisms were isolated in tissue culture from ticks of dogs and cattle from various areas of Zimbabwe. These isolates and a reference strain, Rickettsia conorii Simko, were tested by microimmunofluorescence against homologous and heterologous antisera raised in mice. From the titers obtained by this method, specificity differences (SPDs) were calculated between each of the...
