“…Field surveys between 2000 and 2014, focused in part on detection of human pathogens in ticks, generated additional information about I. scapularis in Pennsylvania. Courtney et al (2003) examined hundreds of I. scapularis adults taken from deer in 2000–2001 in Erie County in the northwestern part of the state and Chester and Delaware counties in the southeast. Diuk-Wasser et al (2010) conducted drag sampling in 17 forested sites across Pennsylvania from 2004 to 2006; I. scapularis nymphs were detected in eight sites located primarily in the eastern portion of the state, though the tick and Bo.…”

- Between 1984 and2004, nine more species or subspecies of spotted fever rickettsiae were identified as emerging agents of tick-borne rickettsioses throughout the world. Six of these species had first been isolated from ticks and later found to be pathogenic to humans. The most recent example is Rickettsia parkeri, recognized as a human pathogen more than 60 years after its initial isolation from ticks. A new spotted fever rickettsia, R. felis was also found to be associated with fleas and to be a human pathogen. Similarly, bacteria within the family Anaplasmataceae have been considered to be of veterinary importance only, yet three species have been implicated in human diseases in recent years, including Ehrlichia chaffeensis, the agent of human monocytic ehrlichiosis, Anaplasma phagocytophilum, the agent of human anaplasmosis (formerly known as "human granulocytic ehrlichiosis agent", E. equi and E. phagocytophila), and finally Ehrlichia ewingii, which causes granulocytic ehrlichiosis in humans. We present here an overview of the various tick-and flea-borne rickettsial zoonoses described in the last 20 years, focusing on the ecological, epidemiological and clinical aspects.
