Rickettsia rickettsii

''Rickettsia rickettsii'' (abbreviated as ''R. rickettsii'') is a gram negative, intracellular, coccobacillus bacteria, that is around 0.8 to 2.0 micrometers long''〔''. R. rickettsii is most known as the causative agent of Rocky Mountain spotted fever.〔 R. rickettsii is one of the most pathogenic Rickettsia strains known to humans and affects a large majority of the Western Hemisphere and small portions of the Eastern Hemisphere.
==History==
Rocky Mountain spotted fever first emerged in the Idaho Valley in 1896. At that time, not much information was known about the disease; it was originally called Black Measles because patients had a characteristic spotted rash appearance throughout their body. The first clinical description of Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever was reported in 1899 by Edward E. Maxey.
Howard Ricketts (1871–1910) was an associate professor of pathology at the University of Chicago in 1902. He was the first to identify and study Rickettsia rickettsii. At the time, the trademark rash now began to slowly emerge in this influential western Montana area, killing at a 80-90% mortality rate. His research entailed interviewing victims of the disease and collecting and studying infected animals. He was also known to inject himself with pathogens to measure its effects. Unfortunately, his research was cut short after his likely death from an insect bite.
S. Burt Wolbach is credited for the first detailed description of the pathogenic agent that causes R. rickettsii in 1919. He clearly recognized it as an intracellular bacterium which was seen most frequently in endothelial cells.
