Lyme disease-a tick-borne spirochetosis?
Willy Burgdorfer,Alan G. Barbour,Stanley F. Hayes,Jorge L. Benach,Edgar Grunwaldt,Jeffrey P. Davis +5 more
TL;DR: A treponema-like spirochete was detected in and isolated from adult Ixodes dammini, the incriminated tick vector of Lyme disease, and it is suggested that the newly discovered spiroChete is involved in the etiology of Lyme Disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ticks and tickborne bacterial diseases in humans: an emerging infectious threat
Philippe Parola,Didier Raoult +1 more
TL;DR: Methods for the detection and isolation of bacteria from ticks are described and advice is given on how tick bites may be prevented and how clinicians should deal with patients who have been bitten by ticks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rickettsioses as paradigms of new or emerging infectious diseases.
Didier Raoult,Véronique Roux +1 more
TL;DR: The different steps that resulted in the description of each new rickettsiosis are described and the influence of factors as diverse as physicians' curiosity and the adoption of molecular biology-based identification in helping to recognize these new infections are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rickettsia Species Infecting Amblyomma cooperi Ticks from an Area in the State of São Paulo, Brazil, Where Brazilian Spotted Fever Is Endemic
Marcelo Bahia Labruna,Marcelo Bahia Labruna,Ted Whitworth,Mauricio Claudio Horta,Donald H. Bouyer,Jere W. McBride,Adriano Pinter,Vsevolod L. Popov,Solange Maria Gennari,David H. Walker +9 more
TL;DR: Results do not support the role of A. cooperi in the ecology of R. rickettsii in the area studied, but they add two more species of ricksettsiae to the poorly developed list of species occurring in ticks in South America.

Laboratory diagnosis of rickettsioses: current approaches to diagnosis of old and new rickettsial diseases
B. La Scola,Didier Raoult +1 more
TL;DR: Every rickettsial species may have pathogenic potential, provided that its reservoir arthropod is capable of biting humans, and this minireview is restricted to these organisms.
