Increasing Incidence of Spotted Fever Group Rickettsioses in the United States, 2010–2018

Vector-Borne and Zoonotic Diseases, 2022
Spotted fever group Rickettsia species are intracellular bacteria transmitted by tick or mite vectors and that cause human diseases referred to as spotted fever group rickettsioses, or spotted fevers.

Current tools for the diagnosis and detection of spotted fever group Rickettsia.

Acta Tropica, 2021
Spotted fever group (SFG) rickettsiae causes a number of diseases in humans worldwide, which can range from mild to highly lethal. Since the clinical presentations of rickettsioses caused by SFG rickettsiae are variable and may be similar to the diseases

Ticks on wild boar in the metropolitan area of Barcelona (Spain) are infected with spotted fever group rickettsiae.

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, 2021
Tick-borne pathogens (TBPs) constitute an emerging public health concern favoured by multidimensional global changes. Amongst these, increase and spread of wild boar (Sus scrofa) populations are of special concern, since this species can act as reservoir

Spotted fever group Rickettsiae in Dermacentor marginatus from wild boars in Italy.

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, 2020
Following the increase in wild boar population recorded in urban and peri-urban areas through Europe, the present survey aimed to assess the occurrence of zoonotic tick-borne pathogens (TBPs) in wild boars living in southern Italy and in their ticks for ...

Spotted Fever Group Rickettsial Infections in Australia

Clinical Infectious Diseases, 1991
More than four decades ago, Rickettsia australis was discovered to be the etiologic agent of Queensland tick typhus (QTT), yet many unanswered questions persist about the ecology, epidemiology, and clinical features of this disease. We review 46 previously published cases of QTT along with 16 cases discovered by active surveillance.

Mediterranean Spotted Fever And Other Spotted Fever Group Rickettsiae

1998
Abstract The spotted fever group of rickettsiae consists of 22 serotypes, or species, of Gram-negative, strictly intracellular bacteria which are associated with ticks and have common antigenic properties. Six strains isolated from patients are recognized as pathogens, while nine others have been isolated only from ticks and are ...

Spotted Fever Group Rickettsia Infection of Cats and Cat Fleas in Northeast Thailand

Vector Borne and Zoonotic Diseases, 2020
Rickettsia species cause rickettsioses, which are zoonotic diseases found worldwide, and are transmitted by arthropods such as lice, fleas, ticks, and mites. In Thailand, flea infestations are common among cats and dogs.

Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever and Other Spotted Fever Group Rickettsioses

2014
Rickettsioses, caused by members of the typhus group and spotted fever group (SFG) rickettsiae, are significant, underrecognized diseases found worldwide. Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF) was first described in the 1890s, and researchers have worked to characterize its manifestations, develop effective therapeutics, examine the biological aspects of

Comparative electrophoresis of spotted fever group rickettsial proteins

Life Sciences, 1978
Abstract Electrophoretic analyses were performed to establish the polypeptide profiles of the following tick-borne typhus rickettsiae of the spotted fever group: Rickettsia rickettsii (Sheila Smith, Bitter Root, Iowa and R strains), R. sibirica , R. conorii , R. parkeri , R. australis and R. akari .
