Transmission of Rickettsia slovaca and Rickettsia raoultii by male Dermacentor marginatus and Dermacentor reticulatus ticks to humans

Abstract We analyzed rickettsial DNA of ticks from tick-borne lymphadenopathy (TIBOLA) patients. Dermacentor marginatus (9/17) and Dermacentor reticulatus (8/17) transmitted rickettsiae to a similar extent. Rickettsia raoultii was detected in more ticks than Rickettsia slovaca . We observed the deve...

Zusammenfassung:	Abstract We analyzed rickettsial DNA of ticks from tick-borne lymphadenopathy (TIBOLA) patients. Dermacentor marginatus (9/17) and Dermacentor reticulatus (8/17) transmitted rickettsiae to a similar extent. Rickettsia raoultii was detected in more ticks than Rickettsia slovaca . We observed the development of TIBOLA symptoms after the bite of males of both tick species.
