摘要

Rickettsial pox has been first diagnosed in New York City in 1946 (Huebner et al. 1946). Cases have been reported from all continents including Europe (Croatia), Asia (Korea), Africa (South Africa) and South America (Akram et al. 2023). Mus musculus and wild rodents are the natural host of R. akari. This organism is also isolated from Rattus rattus and R. norvegicus, and the rat under certain circumstances may transmit the disease to humans. The vector is a mite, Liponyssoides (Allodermanyssus) sanguineus.
