First detection of Rickettsia aeschlimannii in Hyalomma aegyptium from Algeria [PDF]

Clinical Microbiology and Infection, 2009
Tick-borne spotted fever group (SFG) rickettsioses are zoonoses caused by obligate intracellular Gram-negative bacteria belonging to the genus Rickettsia [1]. In Algeria, three species of SFG rickettsia transmitted by ticks are known to occur, including Rickettsia conorii conorii (the agent of Mediterranean spotted fever), transmitted by Rhipicephalus ...

Pathogens in ticks collected in Israel: I. Bacteria and protozoa in Hyalomma aegyptium and Hyalomma dromedarii collected from tortoises and camels

Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases, 2022
Ticks were collected from 30 Greek tortoise (Testudo graeca), and 10 Arabian camels (dromedary) (Camelus dromedarius) in Israel. All those collected from Greek tortoises belonged to Hyalomma aegyptium, while all specimens collected from the camels belonged to Hyalomma dromedarii. Out of 84 specimens of H. aegyptium, 31 pools were examined by PCR, while

The Iranian Hyalomma (Acari: Ixodidae) with a key to the identification of male species

Persian Journal of Acarology, 2013
The taxonomic status of ticks in the genus Hyalomma, as prominent vectors of domestic animal and human pathogen agents as well as hematophagous parasites of all terrestrial animals has a problematic history due to variability. The present paper is based

Discordant phylogeographic patterns between the tortoise tick Hyalomma aegyptium and their Testudo graeca hosts

Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases, 2022
Tortoise ticks, Hyalomma aegyptium, are considered so strongly associated with their hosts that they are even used as indirect indicators for them. In such a case, a robust pattern of congruence between host and parasite could be expected, with phylogeographic breaks within the host being reflected in their parasites.

Borrelia turcica sp. nov., isolated from the hard tick Hyalomma aegyptium in Turkey [PDF]

International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, 2004
Previously, a novel, fast-growing spirochaete was isolated from the hard tick Hyalomma aegyptium, which infests tortoises (Testudo graeca), by using Barbour-Stoenner-Kelly (BSK) II medium; the tick samples were taken from the Istanbul area in northwestern Turkey [Güner et al. (2003). Microbiology 149, 2539-2544].

Mediterranean Spotted Fever in Southeastern Romania

BioMed Research International, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013
Although cases of Mediterranean spotted fever (MSF) have been reported for decades in southeastern Romania, there are few published data. We retrospectively studied 339 patients, diagnosed with MSF at the National Institute of Infectious Diseases “Prof. Dr.

Molecular investigation of tick-borne pathogens from different regions of Morocco

Ticks and Tick-Borne Diseases
Tick-borne pathogens are a worldwide threat to public health that can only be mitigated by knowledge on tick-host associations coupled with surveillance of their infection by pathogenic microorganisms. This information is not equally available throughout

Biogeography of Tick‐Borne Bhanja Virus (Bunyaviridae) in Europe

Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Infectious Diseases, Volume 2009, Issue 1, 2009., 2009
Bhanja virus (BHAV) is pathogenic for young domestic ruminants and also for humans, causing fever and affections of the central nervous system. This generally neglected arbovirus of the family Bunyaviridae is transmitted by metastriate ticks of the genera Haemaphysalis, Dermacentor, Hyalomma, Rhipicephalus, Boophilus, and Amblyomma.

The Iranian Hyalomma (Acari: Ixodidae) with molecular evidences to understand taxonomic status of species complexes

Persian Journal of Acarology, 2019
The identification of Hyalomma is a challenging issue in the systematics of ixodid ticks. Here, we examined 960 adult males of Hyalomma tick from 10 provinces of Iran using morphological and molecular methods.
