“…Emerging in Europe and the Mediterranean are Mediterranean spotted fever (Rickettsia conorii, endemic in the Mediterranean and with occasional cases in northern and central Europe), Rickettsia slovaca (present in France, Slovakia, Hungary and Spain), Rickettsia mongolitimonae (Southern France), Israeli spotted fever, Rickettsia conorii subsp. israelensis (the middle east and Portugal) and R. aeschlimannii (one case in France), among others [100]. A range of tick vectors are involved in transmission and, as for CCHF, very little is known about the interactions between these bacterial pathogens and their invertebrate vectors.…”

Arguably one of the most important effects of climate change is the potential impact on human health. While this is likely to take many forms, the implications for future transmission of vector-borne diseases (VBDs), given their ongoing contribution to global disease burden, are both extremely important and highly uncertain. In part, this is owing not only to data limitations and methodological challenges when integrating climate-driven VBD models and climate change projections, but also, perhaps most crucially, to the multitude of epidemiological, ecological and socio-economic factors that drive VBD transmission, and this complexity has generated considerable debate over the past 10–15 years. In this review, we seek to elucidate current knowledge around this topic, identify key themes and uncertainties, evaluate ongoing challenges and open research questions and, crucially, offer some solutions for the field. Although many of these challenges are ubiquitous across multiple VBDs, more specific issues also arise in different vector–pathogen systems.

“…Rickettsia spp., son afecciones de distribución mundial transmitidas por artrópodos vectores que por diferentes motivos tienen un carácter emergente y re-emergente [1][2][3][4] . Algunos autores han querido ver en las rickettsiosis, y específicamente en el tifus exantemático o epidémico transmitido por piojos, el origen de las grandes plagas que asolaron Europa y el Nuevo Mundo.…”
