Rickettsiosis Infections in Sarawak: Epidemiological Insights and Public Health Strategies. [PDF]

Can J Infect Dis Med Microbiol
Rickettsiosis infections pose a significant public health concern in Sarawak, Malaysia. Despite their importance, these infections remain poorly recognised, under‐researched and inadequately documented within the context of the Sarawak region. This comprehensive evaluation seeks to address this knowledge gap by providing an in‐depth analysis of ...

Emerging tick-borne spotted fever group rickettsioses in the Balkans.

Infection, Genetics and Evolution, 2022
The impact of tick-borne pathogens (TBPs) on human health has increased in the last decades, since the incidence of emerging and re-emerging infectious and zoonotic tick-borne diseases has increased worldwide. Tick-borne rickettsiae of the Spotted Fever group (SFGR) are considered as emerging pathogens that can infect humans and cause a variety of non ...

Old and new tick-borne rickettsioses.

International Health, 2009
The field of rickettsiology is rapidly evolving. Rickettsiae are small Gram-negative bacteria that can be transmitted to humans by arthropods. In most cases they are transmitted transovarially in the arthropod; human beings are incidental hosts. In recent years the use of cell culture and molecular biology has profoundly changed our knowledge of ...

The guinea pig model for tick-borne spotted fever rickettsioses: A second look.

Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases, 2020
The guinea pig (Cavia porcellus) has an established track record as an animal model, with its utility in rickettsial research documented as early as the turn of the 20th century. From identifying Rickettsia rickettsii as the agent of Rocky Mountain spotted fever and ticks as the natural transmission route to evaluating protective immunity and treatment
