Isolation of rickettsia rhipicephali and rickettsia bellii from haemaphysalis juxtakochi ticks in the state of Sao Paulo, Brazil
Article Abstract:
A study was conducted to isolate Rickettsia in cell cultures that were performed individually in seven specimens of Haemaphysalis juxtakochi ticks collected in the state of Sao Paulo, Brazil. Five out of the six isolates were identified as Rickettsia bellii and the sixth isolate was observed to be closest to Rickettsia sp. strain R300, previously detected in H. juxtakochi in northern Brazil and to Rickettsia rhipicephali, isolated from ticks in the United States.

Rickettsia felis from cat fleas: Isolation and culture in a tick-derived cell line
Article Abstract:
The isolation, propagation and partial characterization of Rickettsia felis in an Ixodes scapularis cell line (ISE6) is reported. This proved to be an alternative and promising system for expansion of studies investigating the interactions between Rickettsia felis and arthropod hosts.
