Molecular Profiling of Ticks and Associated Pathogens: First Report of Rickettsia sibirica, Rickettsia slovaca, and Babesia microti in Ticks From Pakistan

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Global distribution of ticks and their associated tick‐borne pathogens (TBPs) presents substantial health concerns for both humans and animals. The present study aimed to investigate the distribution, morpho‐molecular identification, and associated TBPs of diverse tick species collected from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Punjab provinces of Pakistan ...

Estudo da infecção por Rickettsias do grupo da febre maculosa em humanos e carrapatos de um parque urbano na Cidade de Londrina, Estado do Paraná [PDF]

, 2011
INTRODUCTION: Spotted fevers are emerging zoonoses caused by Rickettsia species in the spotted fever group (SFG). Rickettsia rickettsii is the main etiologic agent of Brazilian spotted fever (BSF) and it is transmitted by Amblyomma spp. ticks.

Rickettsia felis: a new species of pathogenic rickettsia isolated from cat fleas [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1996
A flea-borne rickettsia, previously referred to as ELB, has been implicated as a cause of human illness. Using sequence data obtained from a fragment of the citrate synthase gene, we compared ELB, Rickettsia australis, R. rickettsii, and R. akari with the louse-borne R. prowazekii. We tallied 24 base pair differences between ELB and R.

Flinders Island spotted fever rickettsioses caused by "marmionii" strain of rickettsia honei, Eastern Australia [PDF]

, 2007
Australia has 4 rickettsial diseases: murine typhus, Queensland tick typhus, Flinders Island spotted fever, and scrub typhus. We describe 7 cases of a rickettsiosis with an acute onset and symptoms of fever (100%), headache (71%), arthralgia (43 ...

Pet and Stray Dogs’ Contribution to Zoonotic Transmission Pathways: A Bibliometric Review

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Based on a large‐scale bibliometric dataset, domestic dogs (Canis lupus familiaris) emerge as the most frequently cited host species in the context of zoonoses, being mentioned in at least 10% of publications for nearly a quarter of the pathogens recognized as zoonotic to humans.

Molecular Detection of Rickettsia felis and Rickettsia bellii in Mosquitoes [PDF]

Vector-Borne and Zoonotic Diseases, 2019
To add to the limited information on Rickettsia in mosquitoes in China, we carried out a PCR survey on convenience samples of 3051 mosquitoes collected with hand nets in and around domestic dwellings in 25 provinces. Five species of mosquitoes were identified: Culex pipiens pallens (n = 1620), Aedes albopictus (806), Armigeres subalbatus (377 ...

Importance of Common Wall Lizards in the Transmission Dynamics of Tick-Borne Pathogens in the Northern Apennine Mountains, Italy [PDF]

, 2017
During the investigations on ticks and tick-borne pathogens (TBP) range expansion in the Northern Apennines, we captured 107 Podarcis muralis lizards. Sixty-eight animals were infested by immature Ixodes ricinus, Haemaphysalis sulcata and H.

Diversity of Ticks in the Caribbean Region and Detection of Their Pathogens Using BioMark Technology

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Introduction Ticks and the pathogens they transmit are widespread in Caribbean animal populations. There is; however, limited information on the diversity of ticks and tick‐borne pathogens (TTBPs) in the region. This study aims to identify TTBPs across multiple Caribbean countries using a high‐throughput real‐time microfluidic PCR system.

Human Case ofRickettsia felisInfection, Taiwan [PDF]

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2008
To the Editor: Rickettsia felis, the etiologic agent of flea-borne spotted fever, is carried by fleas worldwide (1). In the past decade, several human cases of R. felis infection have been reported (1–3). Clinical symptoms and biological data for R.
