“…Similar rickettsiae were also identified in D. niveus ticks in China (GenBank accession numbers JQ664721 and JQ664722); H. hystricis ticks in Japan (accession number JQ697956); and Haemaphysalis ornithophila, Haemaphysalis shimoga, Haemaphysalis lagrangei, and A. testudinarium ticks in Thailand (437). It was also detected in D. marginatus ticks in Turkey (299) and Georgia (290). No cases from Asia have been reported to date.…”

SUMMARY Tick-borne rickettsioses are caused by obligate intracellular bacteria belonging to the spotted fever group of the genus Rickettsia . These zoonoses are among the oldest known vector-borne diseases. However, in the past 25 years, the scope and importance of the recognized tick-associated rickettsial pathogens have increased dramatically, making this complex of diseases an ideal paradigm for the understanding of emerging and reemerging infections. Several species of tick-borne rickettsiae that were considered nonpathogenic for decades are now associated with human infections, and novel Rickettsia species of undetermined pathogenicity continue to be detected in or isolated from ticks around the world. This remarkable expansion of information has been driven largely by the use of molecular techniques that have facilitated the identification of novel and previously recognized rickettsiae in ticks. New approaches, such as swabbing of eschars to obtain material to be tested by PCR, have emerged in recent years and have played a role in describing emerging tick-borne rickettsioses. Here, we present the current knowledge on tick-borne rickettsiae and rickettsioses using a geographic approach toward the epidemiology of these diseases.

“…It was confirmed to be frequently occurring in Germany (Schicht et al, 2012) and Switzerland (Lommano et al, 2012)in co-infections with other rickettsial species. It was found in ticks removed from humans in Turkey (Gargili et al, 2012), or those collected from domestic dogs in the Ukraine (Hamel et al, 2012). It was find not only in Europe, but also in China (Fernandez-Soto et al, 2004;Huang et al, 2006) and North Africa (Jado et al, 2007).…”

Summary. -The reported incidence of vector-borne diseases including various cases of Rickettsioses in humans is increasing due to a combination of climatic and social factors, escalating the opportunities for contact between people and ticks, fleas or lice. Many of the emerging infectious diseases currently challenging human health in Europe are transmitted by ticks which normally feed on domestic or wild animals. Each Rickettsia spp. has one or several tick vectors, and their geographical distribution varies according to geographical conditions; e.g.; altitude or temperature, which is gradually changing due to a global warming. Evidence of Rickettsia spp. particularly of a newly discovered species is a strong indication that a great number of diseases may be caused by so far undetected or unrecognized organisms. Their diagnosis relies mostly on rare "spot like" cooperation of clinicians with scientists, the members of the working groups that are devoted to the scientific studies of the corresponding research areas. The clinical picture of the disease caused by rickettsiae varies significantly from flu like symptoms to severe fatal outcomes, reflecting the various factors, e.g. a variability of virulence of rickettsial species due to cell invasion, dissemination of rickettsiae, genomics, immune response of an infected organism, or a tricky impact of a treatment. Several major reviews on rickettsioses have been previously published, e.g. in 1997(Parola et al., 2005, and in 2011 (Botelho-Nevers and Raoult, 2011). In this work we intend to present a short historical overview and to describe new trends in research studies of rickettsiology. The main focus will be on rickettsioses affecting Europe΄s population.

“…A pesar de que el vector reconocido de esta Rickettsia es la pulga del gato (Ctenocephalides felis), se la ha identificado en varios otros vectores 54 , incluidas las garrapatas 55,56 . Este hecho, junto a la importante emergencia de casos de infección humana y su amplia distribución en Latinoamérica, motivan que se incluya en esta revisión.…”
