Orientia tsutsugamushi: A life between escapes

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 12, Issue 5, October 2023., 2023
The life cycle of the mite‐borne, obligate intracellular pathogen Orientia tsutsugamushi (Ot), the causative agent of human scrub typhus, differs in many aspects from that of other members of the Rickettsiales order. Particularly, the nonlytic cellular exit of individual Ot bacteria at the plasma membrane closely resembles the budding of enveloped ...

Tick‐borne pathogens in ticks from urban and suburban areas of north‐western Spain: Importance of Ixodes frontalis harbouring zoonotic pathogens

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 37, Issue 3, Page 499-510, September 2023., 2023
A higher number of ticks was collected in suburban than in urban areas, being Ixodes frontalis the most commonly detected species. The results have significant implications for public health since most Rickettsia spp. detected are zoonotic. This is the first report of the detection of Borrelia spp. and Rickettsia spp.

A Pathogen and a Non-pathogen Spotted Fever Group Rickettsia Trigger Differential Proteome Signatures in Macrophages

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2019
We have previously reported that Rickettsia conorii and Rickettsia montanensis have distinct intracellular fates within THP-1 macrophages, suggesting that the ability to proliferate within macrophages may be a distinguishable factor between pathogenic ...

Expert opinion on the identification, risk assessment, and mitigation of microorganisms and parasites relevant to xenotransplantation products from pigs

Xenotransplantation, Volume 30, Issue 5, September/October 2023., 2023
Abstract Xenotransplantation has the potential to address shortages of organs available for clinical transplantation, but concerns exist regarding potential risks posed by porcine microorganisms and parasites (MP) to the health of human recipients. In this study, a risk‐based framework was developed, and expert opinion was elicited to evaluate porcine ...

Molecular detection of Rickettsia spp. in wild ungulates and their ticks in Mediterranean areas of southwestern Spain

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 70, Issue 6, Page 485-497, September 2023., 2023
Abstract Wildlife is an important reservoir of zoonotic pathogens. The objective of the present study was to assess the importance of wild ungulates in the epidemiology of Rickettsia spp. Ticks and spleen samples were collected from 262 red deer (Cervus elaphus) and 83 wild boar (Sus scrofa) hunted in southwestern Spain over a 5‐year period.
