R. prowazekii primary mode of transmission to humans is through the bite and feces of body lice, and inhalation. Humans are the only reservoirs of R. Prowazekii.
Live media needs to be used to culture and isolate the organsim such as yolk sacs in fertilized chicken eggs.
The quicker the disease is detected, Tetracycline or Chloramphenicol can be given, the prognosis will improve.

Where is rickettsia richettsii mostly found?
Rickettsia rickettsii is the cause of Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF) and is the prototype bacterium in the spotted fever group of rickettsiae. Rickettsia rickettsii is found in the Americas and is transmitted to humans through the bite of infected ticks. The bacterium infects human vascular endothelial cells, producing an inflammatory response. The pathogenesis of RMSF is discussed in some detail below.
What is the replication of rickettsia?
Rickettsia can replicate only etracellulary
Obligate Intracellular Parasites?
Gram negative rods or coccobacilli 2) Unable to reproduce outside of a host cell. 3) Lost ability to synthesize needed for extracellular growth. 4) Transmitted when a blood-sucking arthropod (tick or louse) takes a blood meal from a human. 5) Rickettsia rickettsii - Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever 6) Rickettsia prowazekii - epidemic typhus 7) Coxiella burnetii - Q fever 8) Survives outside host & does not require an arthropod for transmission.
What are vaccines for rickettsia?
Rickettsia, the bacteria commonly carried by tics, causes Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever and other illnesses, does not have a vaccine. See the related links for more information.
How severe is rickettsia prowazekii?
Rickettsia prowazekii is an intracellular, bacillus bacterium that is the cause of epidemic typhus in humans. If it is untreated, the infection may increase and is definitely dangerous. It can even lead to death. It has cure so it must be treated timely.
How do people get epidemic typhus?
caused by Rickettsia prowazekii, which is carried by body lice. When the lice feed on a human, they may simultaneously defecate. When the person scratches the bite, the feces (which carries the bacteria) are scratched into the wound.
