  1. rickettsiaceae

    Rickettsiaceae is a family of bacteria, which includes the genera Rickettsia and Orientia. These bacteria are typically small and rod-shaped, and are often transmitted through arthropod vectors such as fleas, ticks, and lice. Many species within this family cause significant diseases in humans, including Rocky Mountain spotted fever and typhus. The bacteria in this family are obligate intracellular parasites, meaning they can only survive and reproduce within the cells of their hosts.

  1. Rickettsiaceae

    The Rickettsiaceae are a family of bacteria, including most notably the genus Rickettsia. Most human pathogens in this family are in genus Rickettsia. They spend part of their life cycle in the bodies of arthropods such as ticks or lice, and are then transmitted to humans or other mammals by the bite of the arthropod. It contains Gram-negative bacteria, very sensitive to environmental exposure, and thus adapted to obligate intracellular infection. Rickettsia rickettsii is considered the prototypical infectious organism in the group. Similar arthropod borne Rickettsial infections exist in other areas of the world.
