[Morphological ultrastructural and immunological studies of a rickettsia isolated from a parrot (author's transl)].
A rickettsia isolated from a parrot was found by use of electron microscopic and serological technic to be a Coxiella burneti. In cell culture one can see a dramatic polymorphism and a Gram negative-like structure of the cell wall. They divide by binary fission with no appearance of a complexe cycle of development like the one described for Chlamydia psittaci. Many myelinic fibrils and altered Coxiella suggest that the host cell react very deaply.
