They occur as parasites in arthropods and cause disease in vertebrate hosts. Pathogenic species fall generally into four groups, based upon immunologic characterization: I, classic typhus (also causing epidemic " >typhus (also causing epidemic typhus, brill-zinsser disease" >brill-zinsser disease, and murine typhus" >typhus); II, spotted fever (causing rocky mountain spotted fever, boutonneuse fever, rickettsialpox, Siberian tick typhus, and Queensland tick typhus); III, scrub typhus; and IV, miscellaneous organisms (including the causes of q fever and trench fever).
