Wide distribution of Mediterranean and African Spotted fever agents and the first identification of Israeli Spotted Fever agent in ticks in Uganda

2023-03-30

Abstract excerpt

Rickettsia microorganisms are causative agents of several neglected emerging infectious diseases transmitted to humans by ticks among other arthropod vectors. In this study, ticks were collected from four geographical regions of Uganda, pooled in sizes of 1-179 ticks based on location, tick species, life stage, host, and time of collection, and were tested by real time PCR for Rickettsia species harboured. The ti...
