[ON THE ROLE OF RICKETTSIA RAOULTII IN THE EPIDEMIOLOGY OF RICKETTSIOSES IN RUSSIA].
The paper analyzes data on the prevalence and possible epidemiological importance of Rickettsia raoultii. The possible risk of infection in the population was assessed from the results of a serological study of patients after tick suction and from those of molecular biological determination of contamination of removed carriers.

First report of Rickettsia raoultii in field collected Dermacentor reticulatus ticks from Austria
In a set of pooled field collected Dermacentor reticulatus ticks, Rickettsia raoultii, the causative agent of Tick-borne lymphadenopathy/Dermacentor-borne necrosis erythema and lymphadenopathy, was found for the first time in Austria. The coordinates of the positive locations for tick and pathogen abundance are given and shown in a map.

Comparison of Real-Time Quantitative PCR and Culture for the Diagnosis of Emerging Rickettsioses [PDF]
Diagnosis of Rickettsia infection would benefit by use of the more rapid and sensitive method of quantitative real-time PCR than the time-intensive and less sensitive method of culturing Rickettsia species from skin biopsies.
