    Author: Farris CM, Pho N, Myers TE, Richards AL.
    Journal: Emerg Infect Dis; 2016 Aug; 22(8):1491-3. PubMed ID: 27434653.
    Abstract:
    We assessed serum samples from 1,000 US Marines deployed to Afghanistan during 2001-2010 to find evidence of 4 rickettsial pathogens. Analysis of predeployment and postdeployment samples showed that 3.4% and 0.5% of the Marines seroconverted for the causative agents of Q fever and spotted fever group rickettsiosis, respectively.
