Zoonotic Tick‐Borne Pathogens in Ixodes ricinus Complex (Acari: Ixodidae) From Urban and Peri‐Urban Areas of Kosovo

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 72, Issue 2, Page 174-183, March 2025.
ABSTRACT Introduction Ixodes ricinus, the castor bean tick, is the most prevalent tick species in Europe. It favours habitats such as shrubs, deciduous and mixed forests, but can also be found in urban environments. Due to its high vector competence, it is of enormous veterinary as well as medical importance, transmitting tick‐borne encephalitis (TBE ...

Rickettsiosis Infections in Sarawak: Epidemiological Insights and Public Health Strategies

Canadian Journal of Infectious Diseases and Medical Microbiology, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Rickettsiosis infections pose a significant public health concern in Sarawak, Malaysia. Despite their importance, these infections remain poorly recognised, under‐researched and inadequately documented within the context of the Sarawak region. This comprehensive evaluation seeks to address this knowledge gap by providing an in‐depth analysis of ...

Hyalomma marginatum in Europe: The Past, Current Status, and Future Challenges—A Systematic Review

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Hyalomma marginatum is a prominent tick vector responsible for transmitting various pathogens, including the Crimean–Congo hemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV), across Europe. This systematic review consolidates findings from 144 publications regarding the geographical distribution of H. marginatum and its associated pathogens.

Reassessment of the genetic basis of natural rifampin resistance in the genus Rickettsia

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 13, Issue 4, August 2024.
Contrary to previous studies, the natural resistance of Rickettsia, a genus of intracellular bacteria, to the antibiotic rifampin is not solely due to the Leu‐973 residue in the RNA polymerase β subunit. Abstract Rickettsia, a genus of obligate intracellular bacteria, includes species that cause significant human diseases.

Isolation and Identification of Rickettsia raoultii in Human Cases: A Surveillance Study in 3 Medical Centers in China [PDF]

Clinical Infectious Diseases, 2017
Rickettsia raoultii is frequently detected in multiple tick species, whereas human infection remains scarcely studied.A surveillance study was performed at 3 sentinel hospitals in China, to recruit participants with suspected tick exposure. Rickettsia raoultii infection was identified through polymerase chain reaction, followed by sequencing, and ...

Spatial Distribution and Pathogen Profile of Dermacentor reticulatus Ticks in Southeastern Poland: A Genetic and Environmental Analysis

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
In recent years, significant changes have been observed in the distribution and abundance of local Dermacentor reticulatus populations. However, changes in D. reticulatus dynamics have not been studied in southeastern Poland. Our objective was to enhance our understanding of the environmental factors influencing the occurrence and density of D ...

Spotted fever rickettsiosis caused by Rickettsia raoultii--case report.

Przeglad epidemiologiczny, 2012
We report the case of rickettsial eschar-associated spotted fever, most probable due to Rickettsia raoultii, an emerging pathogen, which was previously described in patients with tick-borne lymphadenopathy (TIBOLA), also called Dermacentor-borne necrosis erythema and lymphadenopathy (DEBONEL). The pathogenicity of R.
