Abstract
Spotted fever infection has been studied in tissue cultures grown at 32°C. The behavior of spotted fever Rickettsiaeis compared and contrasted with that of typhus Rickettsiae under similar conditions. The spotted fever organisms multiply extensively in the nuclei of cells where they form spherical clusters of various sizes. These structures are compared and contrasted with intranuclear inclusion bodies.
