Rickettsia bacterias are obligate intracellular parasites of living eukaryotic host cells. Rickettsia species cannot grow in artificial nutrient culture; they must be grown either in tissue or embryo cultures. Rickettsia species are transmitted by numerous types of arthropod, including chigger, ticks, fleas, and lice, and are associated with both human and plant diseases. Most notably, Rickettsia species are the pathogens responsible for typhus, rickettsialpox, boutonneuse fever, African tick-bite fever, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, Flinders Island spotted fever, and Queensland tick typhus (Australian tick typhus).
