rickettsia slovaca infection: debonel/tibola.this study describes the epidemiological, clinical, and microbiological characteristics of a new tick-borne disease in spain-dermacentor-borne necrosis erythema lymphadenopathy (debonel). the clinical presentations include an eschar at the site of the tick bite, surrounded by an erythema and painful regional lymphadenopathy. the disease appears during the colder months and its vector is dermacentor marginatus (d. marginatus). from january 1990 to december 2004, 54 patients presented at hospital ...200617114711
prevalence of rickettsia felis-like and bartonella spp. in ctenocephalides felis and ctenocephalides canis from la rioja (northern spain).our aim was to determine the presence of rickettsia spp. and bartonella spp. in ctenocephalides felis and ctenocephalides canis from la rioja (spain). a total of 88 specimens were tested by polymerase chain reaction (pcr) using glta and ompb genes as targets for rickettsia spp., and 16s rrna and ribc genes for bartonella spp. rickettsia felis-like (28.4%), bartonella clarridgeiae (6.8%), and bartonella henselae (3.4%) were detected in ctenocephalides spp. other bartonella sp. different from b. c ...200617114721
prevalence of spotted fever group rickettsia species detected in ticks in la rioja, spain.our objective was to learn the prevalence of spotted fever group (sfg) rickettsia detected in ticks in la rioja, in the north of spain. from 2001 to 2005, 496 ticks representing 7 tick species were analysed at the hospital de la rioja. ticks were removed from humans with or without rickettsial syndrome (n = 59) or collected from mammals (n = 371) or from vegetation by dragging (n = 66). the presence of sfg rickettsia in these ticks was investigated by semi-nested pcr (ompa gene) and sequencing. ...200617114730
detection of rickettsia spp. in haemaphysalis ticks collected in la rioja, spain.in an attempt to know the potential risk of human disease after exposure to ticks in la rioja (north of spain), the objective of our study was to investigate the presence of rickettsia species in haemaphysalis ticks collected in our area. a total of 177 haemaphysalis spp. belonging to three species (h. punctata, h. sulcata, and h. inermis) were subjected to dna extraction and tested by polymerase chain reaction (pcr) targeting three rickettsial genes: glta, ompb, and ompa. six (3 h. inermis, 2 h ...200818454590
