Korat‐Scrub Typhus Score: A Clinical Tool for Predicting Scrub Typhus in Patients With Acute Undifferentiated Febrile Illness

Tropical Medicine &International Health, Volume 31, Issue 8, Page 1066-1072, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective Scrub typhus is a major cause of acute undifferentiated febrile illness (AUFI) in the Asia–Pacific region. Nonspecific presentation, limited diagnostic accuracy and delayed treatment increase morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to develop a simple clinical score for early diagnosis in adults with AUFI. Methods A cross‐sectional

Human Infections by Multiple Spotted Fever Group Rickettsiae in Tennessee [PDF]

The American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2016
Rocky Mountain spotted fever is the most common tick-borne disease in Tennessee. However, Rickettsia rickettsii has rarely been isolated from endemic ticks, suggesting rickettsioses may be caused by other species. A total of 56 human serum samples that were serologically positive for exposure to Rickettsia were obtained from commercial laboratories in ...

Rickettsiales in South America: A Systematic Review of Their Molecular Detection and Distribution in Arthropods and Vertebrates

Public Health Challenges, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Bacteria of the order Rickettsiales comprise a diverse group of obligate intracellular microorganisms that are globally distributed and highly prevalent in tropical and subtropical regions. In South America, these bacteria have been associated with arthropod vectors, such as ticks, fleas, mites, lice, and certain dipterans, as well as with a ...

Tick‐Tac‐Foe: When Ticks, Trade, and Zoonotic Pathogens Align in African Wet Meat Markets

Public Health Challenges, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Zoonotic diseases account for over ∼60% of infectious diseases and present a significantly growing fatality threat in Africa. Live and wet markets (LWMs) in Africa function as key economic venues that support human livelihoods through social interaction and trade in food stuff, including meat and other animal‐based products.

Risk Factors for Tick‐Borne Diseases in Germany: A Scoping Review

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 73, Issue 4, Page 297-313, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Tick‐borne diseases (TBDs) have proliferated in Germany. The two most prevalent TBDs, Lyme‐borreliosis and tick‐borne encephalitis, can present with nonspecific symptoms and lead to serious neurological complications. To date, a review synthesising the risk factors of acquiring a TBD in Germany is missing.

Spotted Fever Group Rickettsiae: A Brief Review and a Canadian Perspective [PDF]

Zoonoses and Public Health, 2012
SummarySpotted fever group rickettsioses (SFGR) are infections caused by established and emerging human pathogens worldwide. These rickettsial agents are transmitted to humans via arthropods and may result in mild to severe and potentially fatal diseases. Spotted fever group rickettsioses are characterized by similar clinical features, including fever,
