Rickettsia felis was identified by polymerase chain reaction amplification and DNA sequencing analysis in Ctenocephalides felis fleas parasitizing rats in Cyprus. Murine typhus caused by R. typhi was believed to be the only flea-transmitted rickettsiosis on the island. This is the first report of this pathogen in southeastern Europe.
通过聚合酶链反应扩增和DNA测序分析,在塞浦路斯寄生于大鼠的猫栉首蚤中鉴定出了猫立克次体。过去认为由斑疹伤寒立克次体引起的鼠型斑疹伤寒是该岛上唯一由跳蚤传播的立克次体病。这是该病原体在东南欧的首次报道。
