Pathogenic bacteria causing human rickettsioses, transmitted in nature by arthropod vectors, primarily infect vascular endothelial cells lining the blood vessels, resulting in ‘endothelial activation’ and onset of innate immune responses. Nucleotide second messengers are long presumed to be the stim...
