CDC EID Janv 2002 Presence of Rickettsia felis in the Cat Flea from Southwestern Europe. Author affiliations: *Universidad de Jaén, Jaén, Spain; †Hospital Universitario Virgen Macarena, Seville, Spain; ‡Hospital Universitario Virgen del Rocío, Seville, Spain; Suggested citation for this article Abstract Rickettsia felis, formerly called ELB agent, was identified by using molecular biology techniques in the cat flea (Ctenocephalides felis felis) from southwestern Spain.
For the first time this flea-transmitted rickettsia has been detected within its vector in Eurasia. Members of the genus Rickettsia are commonly associated with hematophagous arthropods such as ticks, fleas, or lice. During a study concerning rickettsial organisms transmitted by ticks in southwest Spain, using molecular tools for diagnosis, a rickettsial microorganism was detected in some cat fleas on domestic cats and dogs from different counties of the Cadiz Province. A Biometra DNA Thermalcycler (Gottingen, Germany) was used for all PCR amplification. Dr. References Figure Figure. Table Table.

Silaghi, D. Hamel, C. Thiel, K. Pfister); Universität Leipzig, Leipzig, Germany (M. Pfeffer) Suggested citation for this article Abstract To explore increased risk for human Rickettsia spp. infection in Germany, we investigated recreational areas and renatured brown coal surface-mining sites (also used for recreation) for the presence of spotted fever group rickettsiae in ticks. Rickettsia species of the spotted fever group are causing emerging infectious diseases (1). Questing ticks were collected from vegetation by flagging in 3 regions in Germany (9 sites total) in March–September 2008 and April–October 2009 (Figure). Ticks were screened for rickettsial DNA by using a PCR amplifying part of the gltA gene as described (8). From each site, 1–6 positive tick samples were analyzed for the ompA and ompB genes.
In Germany, R. slovaca was first described in 1977 (2) and again recently (11). Figure. Novel Candidatus Rickettsia Species Detected in Nostril Tick from Human, Gabon, 2014 - Volume 21, Number 2—February 2015. Author affiliations: University Hospital Ramón y Cajal, Madrid, Spain (R.

Suggested citation for this article Abstract We report the identification of a nymphal nostril tick (Amblyomma sp.) from a national park visitor in Gabon and subsequent molecular detection and characterization of tickborne bacteria.
Ticks are hematophagous arthropods that parasitize different species of vertebrates, and they serve as intermediate hosts for infectious pathogens that can have serious implications for humans. A 21-year-old female field worker from Spain visited Lopé National Park in Gabon (Africa) for 13 days during January–February 2014 to observe chimpanzees and gorillas.
Immature stages of Amblyomma ticks cannot be identified to the species level on the basis of morphologic features without allowing the nymph to molt. Acknowledgment References Figure.
