Infections Caused by Rickettsiae and Rickettsia-Like Organisms, and Bartonellosis

  • Chapter
Tropical Pathology

Part of the book series: Spezielle pathologische Anatomie ((SPEZIELLE,volume 8))

Abstract

The family Rickettsiaceae includes the tribe Rickettsieae consisting of the genera Rickettsia, Rochalimaea and Coxiella. A second tribe, the Ehrlichieae, are intracytoplasmic rickettsiae; this tribe contains several genera of which only the genus Ehrlichia is currently recognized to be of importance in human disease (Table 8.1).
