Phylogenic position and low genomic diversity of “Candidatus Rickettsia kotlanii” inferred by complete genome sequences of two Japanese isolates

Microbiology and Immunology, Volume 67, Issue 6, Page 275-280, June 2023., 2023
Abstract Many Rickettsia species of the spotted fever group (SFG) cause tick‐borne diseases known as “spotted fever.” One of the candidate SFG Rickettsia species is “Candidatus Rickettsia kotlanii,” which was first detected in Haemaphysalis concinna in Hungary in 2006.

Enhanced threat of tick‐borne infections within cities? Assessing public health risks due to ticks in urban green spaces in Helsinki, Finland

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 67, Issue 7, Page 823-839, November 2020., 2020
Abstract Most tick‐related studies in Europe have been conducted in nonurban areas, but ticks and tick‐borne pathogens also occur in urban green spaces. From a public health perspective, risks regarding tick‐borne infections should be studied in these urban areas, where contacts between infected ticks and humans may be more frequent than elsewhere, due

Molecular surveillance reveals a potential hotspot of tick-borne disease in Yakeshi City, Inner Mongolia

BMC Microbiology, 2023
A molecular surveillance of tick-borne diseases was performed in Hulunbuir City, Inner Mongolia. A total of 149 ticks including three species (Ixodes persulcatus, Haemaphysalis concinna, and Dermacentor silvarum) were collected.

Microarray of surface-exposed proteins of rickettsia heilongjiangensisfor serodiagnosis of Far-eastern spotted fever [PDF]

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2014
Far-eastern spotted fever (FESF) is an important emerging infectious disease in Northeast Asia. The laboratory diagnosis of FESF in hospitals is mainly based on serological methods. However, these methods need to cultivate rickettsial cells as diagnostic antigens, which is both burdensome and dangerous.Eleven surface-exposed proteins (SEPs) were ...

Enhanced Expression of T-Cell Immunoglobulin and Mucin Domain Protein 3 in Endothelial Cells Facilitates Intracellular Killing ofRickettsia heilongjiangensis [PDF]

Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2015
Rickettsia heilongjiangensis is the pathogen of Far eastern spotted fever, and T-cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain protein 3 (Tim-3) is expressed in human vascular endothelial cells, the major target cells of rickettsiae. In the present study, we investigated the effects of altered Tim-3 expression in vivo in mice and in vitro in human endothelial ...

Rapid and Visual Detection of Coxiella burnetii Using Recombinase Polymerase Amplification Combined with Lateral Flow Strips

BioMed Research International, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018
Coxiella burnetii, a global‐distributed biological warfare agent, is the causative agent of Q fever. Correct diagnosis of Q fever is challenging and developing a fast, simple, and reliable detection method is necessary. In this study, recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) assay combined with lateral flow (LF) test was developed targeting 23S rRNA ...
