rickettsiales diseases are significant sources of morbidity and
mortality all over the world. Their incidence has been increasing in
recent years in large
part due to climate change and the movement of animals carrying the
insect vectors. Currently there are no effective vaccines against
diseases caused by members of the order Rickettsiales. Rickettsiales
diseases are often misdiagnosed; this book is intended
to serve as a tool for their understanding and diagnosis.
Rickettsiales
covers the seven main genera: Anaplasma, Ehrlichia, Midichloria,
Neorickettsia, Orientia, Rickettsia and Wolbachia. Discussion of each
genus includes immunology
and molecular biology of host-pathogen interactions, epidemiology and
diagnosis, and vaccination strategies and therapies.
