Emerging Infectious Diseases
Recent findings from M.E. Eremeeva and co-authors highlight research in emerging infectious diseases
November 18th, 2008
'Rickettsia typhi (prevalence 1.9%) and R. felis (prevalence 24.8%) DNA were detected in rat fleas (Xenopsylla cheopis) collected from mice on Oahu Island, Hawaii. The low prevalence of R. typhi on Oahu suggests that R. felis may be a more common cause of rickettsiosis than R. typhi in Hawaii.'
