Squirrel flying

The natural reservoirs are humans, and within the United States, flying squirrels. R. prowazekii is not transmitted by the bite of the louse, but rather by contamination of the bite, or other open wounds, by the infected feces of the louse. Lice begin releasing rick-ettsiae in their feces within 6 days after becoming infected. Lice die within 2 weeks after becoming infected. Rickettsiae may remain viable in dead lice for weeks. This is a biosafety level 3 agent. [Pg.597]

Typhus fever B (Rickeffsia prowazekii) Insects— arthropods (primarily human lice) animals— flying squirrels in the US typically has been seen 1-2 weeb, typically 12 days No (but infected lice can be transferred) Standa d High fever, rash (w/in 6 days), muscle pain, hypotension, photophobia, delirium Typically 2 weeks in untreated pts hat recover Doxycycline, chloramphenicol...

Stratigraphical analysis of this fauna shows that it is greatly different from locality no. 2 of Csarnota and locality no. 7 of Osztramos. Not only had the archaic cricetids Cricetinus, Baranomys), relicts of the Pliocene, disappeared from the area but also the forest elements (flying squirrels, asiatic Petauristines, dormice Glirulus, etc.). Steppe elements predominated in the animal communities, with the percentile predominance... [Pg.29]
