هاورد تيلر ريكتس Howard Taylor Ricketts (و.تسعة فبراير 1871 – ت. ثلاثة مايو1910)، هوپاثولوجي أمريكي، الذي سميت باسمه فصيلة الريكتسيات Rickettsiaceae ورتبة الريكتساوات Rickettsiales.
ولد في فيندلاي، أوهايو. في بداية حياته العملية، أجرى ريكتس بحثاً في جامعة نورثويسترن على الفطر البرعمي blastomycosis. فيما بعد عمل في بيتروت ڤالي في مونتانا وفي جامعة شيكاگو على حمى الجبال الصخرية المبقعة. This early pathology, entomology and epidemiology research in Hamilton, Montana lead to the eventual formation of the Rocky Mountain Laboratory there.
أثناء تواجده في مونتانا، اكتشف ريكتس ومساعده حتى العامل الذي يحمل العصيات for the latter was a tick, the Rocky Mountain wood tick (the American dog tick is also a carrier). Ricketts was devoted to his research and, on several occasions, injected himself with a pathogen to measure its effects. The pathogen causing Rocky Mountain spotted fever, Rickettsia rickettsii was named after him. After this eponymous genus, the larger family and order were given their names.
In 1909, Ricketts became interested in a strand of typhus known as tabardillo, due to a major outbreak in Mexico City, and the apparent similarity of the disease to spotted fever. Days after isolating the organism that he believed caused typhus, he himself died of the disease.
Ricketts was survived by his wife, Myra Tubbs Ricketts, and children. His family established an annual student research prize, the Howard Taylor Ricketts Prize, at the University of Chicago in 1912.
