Rickettsia species causing human illness are present globally and can cause significant
disease. Diagnosis and identification of this intracellular bacteria are challenging with many …

Rickettsia species are endosymbionts hosted by arthropods and are known to cause mild to
fatal diseases in humans. Here, we analyse the evolution and diversity of 34 Rickettsia …

We re-describe the adult stages of Rhipicephalus linnaei (Audouin, 1826), and characterise
its diagnostic molecular traits. A male R. linnaei collected in Esna City, Luxor Governorate …
