Issue title: Century of Rickettsiology; Emerging, Reemerging Rickettsioses, Molecular Diagnostics, and Emerging Veterinary Rickettsioses. During a 7-year study, we identified and analyzed by PCR 4,049 ticks removed from 3,685 asymptomatic patients in Castilla y León (northwestern Spain). A total of 320 ticks (belonging to 10 species) were PCR-positive for rickettsiae. Comparison of amplicon sequences in databases enabled us to identify eigth different spotted fever group (SFG) rickettsiae: Rickettsia slovaca, Rickettsia sp. IRS3/IRS4, R. massiliae/Bar29, R. aeschlimannii, Rickettsia sp. RpA4/DnS14, R. helvetica, Rickettsia sp. DmS1, and R. conorii. Although Mediterranean spotted fever (MSF) is an endemic disease in Castilla y León, R. conorii was found in only one Rhipicephalus sanguineus tick, whereas other pathogenic SFG rickettsiae were much more prevalent in the same area. Our data suggest that in Castilla y León, many MSF or MSF-like cases attributed to R. conorii could have been actually caused by other SFG rickettsiae present in ticks biting people in this region of Spain.
