Characterization of Rickettsial Infection in Amblyomma americanum (Acari: Ixodidae) by Quantitative Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction

Several species of the spotted fever group Rickettsia (SFGR), with considerable variation in vertebrate host pathogenicity, are present in ticks in the United States. In this study, quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) was used to characterize the growth and the distribution of Rickettsia amblyommii in...
