“…We used quantitative proteomics by sequential windowed data independent acquisition of the total high-resolution mass spectra with tandem mass spectrometry (SWATH-MS/MS) to profile alterations resulting from infection of THP-1 macrophages with three mildly pathogenic rickettsiae: Rickettsia parkeri, Rickettsia africae, and Rickettsia massiliae, all successfully proliferating in these cells. …”

INTERPRETATION: The wide spectrum of vectors is contributing substantially to the increasing incidence of SFGR infections among humans. …”
