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.

Two Cases of Spotted Fever Group Rickettsiosis Contracted in Southern Parts of Africa
Journal of the Japanese Association for Infectious Diseases, 1998 A 40-year-old Japanese male stayed in Zimbabwe and developed a fever above 38 degrees C during which he noted a typical eschar in the lumbar region and also regional inguinal lymphadenopathy. Although not conspicuous, erythematous eruptions accompanied by itching were observed on the face, trunk and lower extremities.

Spotted Fever Group and Typhus Group Rickettsioses in Humans, South Korea
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2005 The presence of the nucleic acid of the spotted fever group (SPG) and typhus group (TG) rickettsiae was investigated in 200 serum specimens seropositive for SFG rickettsiae by multiplex-nested polymerase chain reaction with primers derived from the ...

Regulation of inducible heme oxygenase and cyclooxygenase isozymes in a mouse model of spotted fever group rickettsiosis [PDF]
Microbial Pathogenesis, 2012 Vascular endothelial cells (ECs) lining the blood vessels are the preferred primary targets of pathogenic Rickettsia species in the host. In response to oxidative stress triggered by infection, ECs launch defense mechanisms such as expression of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1).

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Ticks are major vectors of numerous pathogens affecting both livestock and humans. In Senegal, data on the diversity of tick‐borne pathogens (TBPs) in ruminant‐associated ticks remain limited. In total, 1703 ticks were collected from goats, sheep, and cattle across three ecological zones of Senegal (Sudanian, Sahelian, and Sudano‐Sahelian).

Evaluation of PCR-Based Assay for Diagnosis of Spotted Fever Group Rickettsiosis in Human Serum Samples [PDF]
Clinical and Vaccine Immunology, 2005 ABSTRACT A nested PCR assay was developed for the detection of spotted fever group (SFG) rickettsiae in serum samples. The assay was based on specific primers derived from the rickettsial outer membrane protein B gene ( rompB ) of Rickettsia conorii .

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 72, Issue 8, Page 697-705, December 2025.ABSTRACT Introduction Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF), a rapidly progressing febrile disease caused by the bacterium Rickettsia rickettsii, is the deadliest tick‐borne disease in the world. Human infection initially results in non‐specific symptoms and, if untreated, can result in death in up to 35% of cases.
