| rickettsia mongolotimonae: a rare pathogen in france. | we report a second case of laboratory-confirmed infection caused by rickettsia mongolotimonae in marseille, france. this rickettsiosis may represent a new clinical entity; moreover, its geographic distribution may be broader than previously documented. this pathogen should be systematically considered in the differential diagnosis of atypical rickettsioses, especially rashless fevers with lymphangitis and lymphadenopathy, in southern france and perhaps elsewhere. | 2000 | 10827119 |
| [molecular tools in the epidemiology of tick-borne bacterial diseases]. | molecular tools have been used to detect rickettsiae in ticks. in ixodes ricinus ticks collected in france, we detected for the first time there an emerging pathogen, rickettsia helvetica, and an ehrlichia sp, closely related to the agent of human granulocytic ehrlichiosis. in guadeloupe (french west indies), we described the occurrence of african tick-bite fever due to rickettsia africae, which had been previously reported in sub-saharan africa only. in africa, we completed our knowledge about ... | 2001 | 11282521 |
| rickettsia mongolotimonae infection in south africa. | we report the first laboratory-confirmed case of rickettsia mongolotimonae infection in africa. the patient sought treatment for an eschar on his toe; lymphangitis, severe headaches, and fever subsequently developed. after a regimen of doxycycline, symptoms rapidly resolved. r. mongolotimonae infection was diagnosed retrospectively by serologic tests and molecular-based detection of the organism in biopsy specimens of eschar material. | 2004 | 15078607 |
| rickettsial infections--a threat to travellers? | recent developments in cell-culture techniques and molecular methods have led to the description of several new rickettsial diseases. an update on these new infections should be of interest to health workers with patients who are international travellers. | 2004 | 15353963 |
| update on spotted fever group rickettsiae in south africa. | until very recently, mediterranean spotted fever caused by rickettsia conorii was the only spotted fever group (sfg) rickettsioses recognized in southern africa. however, increasing medical awareness of tick-borne infections, together with the introduction of improved isolation methods and the availability of molecular techniques, have led to the identification of several new sfg rickettsioses in the region. african tick bite fever, caused by rickettsia africae, is currently the most important o ... | 2004 | 15631070 |
| lymphangitis-associated rickettsiosis, a new rickettsiosis caused by rickettsia sibirica mongolotimonae: seven new cases and review of the literature. | rickettsia sibirica mongolotimonae has been found in hyalomma ticks in inner mongolia (in china) and niger and in humans in france and south africa. to date, only 3 cases of human infection have been reported. | 2005 | 15844066 |
| simultaneous detection of "rickettsia mongolotimonae" in a patient and in a tick in greece. | rickettsia conorii, a spotted fever group rickettsia which is transmitted by rhipicephalus sp. complex ticks, was considered until now the only pathogenic rickettsia prevalent in greece. here, we report the presence of "rickettsia mongolotimonae" (proposed name) detected simultaneously in a patient and in a hyalomma anatolicum excavatum tick, sampled on the patient. | 2005 | 16000506 |

| spotted fever group rickettsiae in ticks in cyprus. | in two surveys conducted from march 1999 to march 2001 and from january 2004 to december 2006, a total of 3,950 ticks (belonging to ten different species) were collected from seven domestic and wild animals (goat, sheep, cattle, dog, fox, hare, and mouflon) from different localities throughout cyprus. in order to establish their infection rate with spotted fever rickettsiae (sfg), ticks were pooled and tested by polymerase chain reaction targeting glta and ompa genes, followed by sequencing anal ... | 2011 | 21833539 |
| genome sequence of "rickettsia sibirica subsp. mongolitimonae". | "rickettsia sibirica subsp. mongolitimonae" is the agent of lymphangitis-associated rickettsiosis, an emerging human disease that has been diagnosed in europe and africa. the present study reports the draft genome of rickettsia sibirica subsp. mongolitimonae strain ha-91. | 0 | 22493199 |
| molecular analysis of crimean-congo hemorrhagic fever virus and rickettsia in hyalomma marginatum ticks removed from patients (spain) and birds (spain and morocco), 2009-2015. | crimean-congo hemorrhagic fever virus (cchfv) was detected in spain in 2010. the presence of cchfv in hyalomma marginatum ticks from migratory birds passing through morocco during the spring migration strengthened the hypothesis of the arrival of infected ticks transported by birds to the iberian peninsula. furthermore, hyalomma species are vectors of bacterial infections such as spotted fever rickettsioses. cchfv and rickettsia were screened in hyalomma ticks from spain attached to patients (n= ... | 2016 | 27215620 |
| zoonotic surveillance for rickettsiae in domestic animals in kenya. | abstract rickettsiae are obligate intracellular bacteria that cause zoonotic and human diseases. arthropod vectors, such as fleas, mites, ticks, and lice, transmit rickettsiae to vertebrates during blood meals. in humans, the disease can be life threatening. this study was conducted amidst rising reports of rickettsioses among travelers to kenya. ticks and whole blood were collected from domestic animals presented for slaughter at major slaughterhouses in nairobi and mombasa that receive animals ... | 2013 | 23477290 |

| septic shock in a patient infected with rickettsia sibirica mongolitimonae, spain. | in 1996, the first human case of infection by rickettsia sibirica subsp. mongolitimonae was described in france. subsequently, other human cases were reported in the same country. the acronym lar (lymphangitis-associated rickettsiosis) has been proposed to designate this disease because lymphangitis is one of the main clinical manifestations. later, a few more cases were described in portugal, south africa, egypt, greece and spain. we report a case of r. sibirica mongolitimonae infection as a ca ... | 2012 | 22548679 |
