• Sommario/riassunto: "A current review of basic research on Rickettsiales biology and pathogenesis in one comprehensive volume. Details the scientific knowledge about how these obligate intracellular bacteria invade, survive and replicate inside eukaryotic cells. Describes the spectrum of disease caused by an infection and the role of vectors in transmission. Discusses protective and pathologic immune responses and establishment of persistent infection. Describes the latest developments including genomics and progress in vaccine development. Serves as a significant research book for scientists, physicians, medical students, public health professionals, epidemiologists, biocomputational scientists and government policy makers. "
