rickettsia

Any of a group of rod-shaped bacteria that live as parasites within eukaryotic cells. They are spread to humans by invertebrates such as ticks, fleas, and lice. The diseases they cause include epidemic typhus, and the milder endemic typhus and scrub typhus, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, rickettsial pox, trench fever, and Q fever.

The genome for Rickettsia was mapped in 1998. It revealed that Rickettsia may well be the closest living relative of the ancestor of mitochondria, which once lived outside the body.
