Species code:	RICFE
Taxonomy:	Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Alphaproteobacteria; Rickettsiales; Rickettsiaceae; Rickettsieae; Rickettsia; spotted fever group (TaxID: 42862) [NEWT/ NCBI]
Description:	Rickettsia felis is a Gram-negative intracellular parasite that is transmitted by the cat flea (Ctenocephalides felis) and causes spotted fever in humans. Formerly called ELB agent, it was first identified as a human pathogen in 1994.
Properties:	Presence of flagella: No Interaction: Animal pathogen in Mammalia (intracellular obligate) Number of membranes: 2 Number of inteins:0
Statistics:	Number of RICFE entries in the UniProt Knowledgebase: 1428 (450 in UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot + 978 in UniProtKB/TrEMBL)
