Rickettsial Diseases: From Epidemiology to Molecular Biology, The Pathway Toward Disease Control

  • Chapter

  • 105 Accesses

Abstract

Rickettsial diseases comprise a heterogeneous group of illnesses that occur throughout the world (Table 1) . They are remarkably underrecognized owing to the absence of clinical distinctiveness and unavailability of effective, specific laboratory diagnostic methods in many geographic areas (1).
