Tick‐borne pathogens in ticks from urban and suburban areas of north‐western Spain: Importance of Ixodes frontalis harbouring zoonotic pathogens

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 37, Issue 3, Page 499-510, September 2023., 2023
A higher number of ticks was collected in suburban than in urban areas, being Ixodes frontalis the most commonly detected species. The results have significant implications for public health since most Rickettsia spp. detected are zoonotic. This is the first report of the detection of Borrelia spp. and Rickettsia spp.

Molecular detection of Rickettsia spp. in wild ungulates and their ticks in Mediterranean areas of southwestern Spain

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 70, Issue 6, Page 485-497, September 2023., 2023
Abstract Wildlife is an important reservoir of zoonotic pathogens. The objective of the present study was to assess the importance of wild ungulates in the epidemiology of Rickettsia spp. Ticks and spleen samples were collected from 262 red deer (Cervus elaphus) and 83 wild boar (Sus scrofa) hunted in southwestern Spain over a 5‐year period.

Rickettsial pathogens drive microbiota assembly in Hyalomma marginatum and Rhipicephalus bursa ticks

Molecular Ecology, Volume 32, Issue 16, Page 4660-4676, August 2023., 2023
Abstract Most tick‐borne pathogens (TBPs) are secondarily acquired by ticks during feeding on infected hosts, which imposes ‘priority effect’ constraints, as arrival order influences the establishment of new species in a microbial community. Here we tested whether once acquired, TBPs contribute to bacterial microbiota functioning by increasing ...

Molecular identification of zoonotic Rickettsia species in Ixodidae parasitizing wild lagomorphs from Mediterranean ecosystems

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 69, Issue 4, Page e992-e1004, July 2022., 2022
Abstract A survey study was carried out to identify tick species parasitizing wild lagomorphs in Mediterranean ecosystems in southern Spain and to determine the occurrence of Rickettsia species present in these ticks in this region. A total of 1304 European wild rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) and 58 Iberian hares (Lepus granatensis) were individually ...

Tick-borne rickettsioses, neglected emerging diseases in rural Senegal. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2010
BACKGROUND: Rickettsioses are one of the most important causes of systemic febrile illness among travelers from developed countries, but little is known about their incidence in indigenous populations, especially in West Africa.

Spotted Fever Group Rickettsiae in Questing Ticks, Central Spain [PDF]

, 2013
These results demonstrate that SFG rickettsiae with public health relevance are found in ticks in central Spain as in other regions in Spain. In central Spain, the widespread distribution of tick vectors and possible wildlife hosts, the presence of ...

Detection of Borrelia lusitaniae, Rickettsia sp. IRS3, Rickettsia monacensis and Anaplasma phagocytophilum in Ixodes ricinus collected in Madeira Island, Portugal [PDF]

, 2008
A total of 300 Ixodes ricinus ticks were tested by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for the presence of Borrelia spp., Rickettsia spp., and Anaplasma phagocytophilum. Sequence analysis demonstrated 8 (2.7%) ticks infected with B. lusitaniae, 60 (20%) with

Acute febrile illness is associated with Rickettsia spp infection in dogs [PDF]

, 2015
BACKGROUND: Rickettsia conorii is transmitted by Rhipicephalus sanguineus ticks and causes Mediterranean Spotted Fever (MSF) in humans. Although dogs are considered the natural host of the vector, the clinical and epidemiological significance of R ...

Rickettsia sibirica mongolitimonae infection in a woman travelling from Cameroon: a case report and review of the literature [PDF]

Journal of Travel Medicine, 2017
Rickettsia sibirica mongolitimonae is now a well-known cause of human rickettsial infection, with 52 reported cases, including 47 in southern Europe and one in South Africa. We report the first case of R. sibirica mongolitimonae in Central Africa, likely a sentinel case for a more common disease than originally suspected.

Spotted fever group rickettsiae associated with ixodid ticks in wild environment in Southern Italy

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 7, Issue 1, February 2018., 2018
Tick‐borne rickettsioses are an important public health problem; however, their diagnosis remains challenging. Spotted fever group rickettsiae were investigated in hard ticks using two different molecular approaches. A total of four zoonotic rickettsiae were detected. Abstract Ixodidae ticks are vectors and reservoirs of several species of rickettsiae,
