Distinguishing Japanese Spotted Fever and Scrub Typhus, Central Japan, 2004- 2015.

abstract：:Rickettsia felis has been reported to be a cause of fever in sub-Saharan Africa, but this association has been poorly evaluated in Gabon. We assessed the prevalence of this bacterium among children <15 years of age in 4 areas of Gabon; the locations were in urban, semiurban, and rural areas. DNA samples from 410 febri...
