Clustered Cases of Rickettsia sibirica mongolitimonae Infection, France [PDF]

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2013
To the Editor: Rickettsia sibirica mongolitimonae, a member of the tick-borne spotted fever group (SFG) of rickettsia, was first isolated from Hyalomma asiaticum ticks in China (1). The first human case was described in France in 1996, and 7 new cases were described in 2005 (1). This rickettsiosis was named lymphangitis-associated rickettsiosis because

Rickettsia sibirica subsp. mongolitimonae Infection and Retinal Vasculitis [PDF]

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2008
Abstract Rickettsia sibirica mongolitimonae is considered a rare pathogen that can cause different clinical presentations. Approximately, one-third of the patients with this infection experience lymphangitis from the inoculation eschar to the draining lymph nodes, and, in that case, the infection is named “lymphangitis-associated ...

Detection of Rickettsia sibirica mongolitimonae by Using Cutaneous Swab Samples and Quantitative PCR [PDF]

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2014
To the Editor: Tick-borne rickettsioses are caused by the obligate intracellular bacteria spotted fever group (SFG) Rickettsia spp. These zoonoses are now recognized as emerging or reemerging human infections worldwide, with ≈15 new tick-borne rickettsial species or subspecies recognized as human pathogens during the 30 past years (1).

Pathogen screening of Zambian ticks: new insights on the occurrence of tick-borne pathogens in the country [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors
Background Ticks are important ectoparasites for both humans and animals and can also transmit a wide range of different viral, bacterial, and parasitic pathogens, which are commonly known as “tick-borne pathogens” (TBPs).
