For many years, rickettsiae and chlamydiae were thought to be viruses because they are very small and are intracellular parasites. They are now known to be bacteria because they possess both DNA and RNA, have cell walls similar to those found in gram-negative bacteria, divide by binary fission, and are susceptible to antibiotics that produce an effect in most bacteria. therefor it is A BACTERIA AND NOT A VIRUS.

It needs a host, another cell, to reproduce, unlike bacteria which can reproduce on their own.
What is the replication of rickettsia?
Rickettsia replicates within the host cell cytoplasm through a process known as binary fission. This involves the bacterium dividing into two daughter cells, leading to the multiplication of the organism within the host cell.
A test used to detect anti-Rickettsia antibodies in a patient is the?
Indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA) is commonly used to detect anti-Rickettsia antibodies in a patient. This test involves exposing the patient's serum to Rickettsia antigens and then using fluorescently labeled antibodies to detect any bound antibodies. Positive results indicate a past or current infection with Rickettsia bacteria.

What is the difference between AIDS and HIV?

What is the difference between having HIV and Aids?
HIV is the virus that causes AIDS. Hence, HIV in the virus and AIDS is the disease that results from the virus.
What is the difference between a temperature and virulent virus?

What is difference between scanning virus and removing virus?
Scanning virus only help to find the virus inside your computer disks, but do no other actions, virus is still in your computer. But Removing virus not only find it, but also remove the virus from your computer. Thus no such virus will remain in your computer after that.
