   What is Rickettsia rickettsii?

   • Not to be confused with rickets. Rickettsia rickettsii is a Gram-negative, intracellular, coccobacillus bacterium that was first discovered in 1902. Having a reduced genome, the bacterium harvests nutrients from its host cell to carry out respiration, making it an organoheterotroph.

   Where does Rickettsia rickettsii live?

   • Both the American Dog Tick and the Rocky Mountain Wood Tick serve as long-term reservoirs for Rickettsia rickettsii, in which the organism resides in the tick posterior diverticula of the midgut, the small intestine, and the ovaries. In addition, an infected male tick can transmit the organism to an uninfected female during mating.

   What causes rickettsial infections?

   • Rickettsial infections and related infections (such as anaplasmosis, ehrlichiosis, and Q fever) are caused by an unusual type of bacteria that can live only inside the cells of another organism. Most of these infections are spread through ticks, mites, fleas, or lice.

   Is Rickettsia a natural reservoir of disease?

   • Humans are not a natural reservoir of disease. The Rickettsia does not harm the tick. In the United States, transmission occurs most often after a bite of the American dog tick ( Dermacentor variabilis ), the Rocky Mountain wood tick ( Dermacentor andersoni ), or the brown dog tick ( Rhipicephalus sanguineus ).
