Rickettsia Detected in the Reptile Tick Bothriocroton hydrosauri from the Lizard Tiliqua rugosa in South Australia

Pathogens, 2016
Rickettsiosis is a potentially fatal tick borne disease. It is caused by the obligate intracellular bacteria Rickettsia, which is transferred to humans through salivary excretions of ticks during the biting process.

Utility of ultra-rapid real-time PCR for detection and prevalence of Rickettsia spp. in ticks

BMC Veterinary Research, 2022
Background Rickettsia spp. are important tick-borne pathogens that cause various human and animal diseases worldwide. A tool for rapid and accurate detection of the pathogens from its vectors is necessary for prevention of Rickettsioses propagation in ...

Ticks From Mink and Their Associated Microorganisms in Spain

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Wildlife is an important source of emerging zoonotic agents, including tick‐borne ones. Wild carnivores such as mink are commonly parasitized by ticks, which are vectors and reservoirs of zoonotic diseases. Besides the importance of these arthropods as potential sources of diseases in mink, and the role of these mammals as reservoirs of infectious ...

Tick-borne encephalitis and differential diagnosis

Annales Academiae Medicae Silesiensis
Introduction: Tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) is an infection caused by the tick-borne encephalitis virus transmitted to humans by tick bites. The prevalence of TBE is between 10,000 and 15,000 cases annually and is comparable in Europe and Asia.

Prevalence of Anaplasma, Ehrlichia and Rickettsia infections in dogs in Iran: A meta‐analysis study

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 10, Issue 2, March 2024.
This study assesses Rickettsiales bacteria prevalence in Iranian dogs, which can affect both animals and humans. Dogs’ interactions with people and livestock make them potential carriers of these zoonotic pathogens. Data gathered until 1 March 2022, from various sources revealed disparities among genera, with 20.1% for Anaplasma spp.

Diagnosis of a Rare Rickettsia felis Infection Complicated with Unusual Pericardial Effusion and Cardiac Tamponade Using an mNGS Test

Case Reports in Infectious Diseases, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
The occurrence of sporadic rickettsial infections has been consistently undervalued and overlooked, primarily owing to a limited emphasis on routine examinations for rickettsioses in clinical practice. At present, the immunofluorescence assay is the prevailing diagnostic method for suspected rickettsioses that enables the detection of specific ...

Exploring the Coinfection and Genetic Diversity of Multiple Tick‐Borne Pathogens in Livestock Population of Punjab, Pakistan

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
Tick‐borne diseases affecting domestic animals and humans have increased globally in recent years. Pakistan, in particular, faces a significant economic threat from ticks, where two specific species, Rhipicephalus microplus and Hyalomma anatolicum, act as vectors for various pathogens such as piroplasma, Anaplasma, Ehrlichia, and Rickettsia that pose a
