2 Gram negative bacterium Strictly intracellular Transmitted by arthropods: ticks, fleas, lice, mites Mosquitoes? 2
3 Louse borne disease - typhus Tick borne : the big killer - RMSF Other: less severe Flea borne - Murine typhus (Maxcy 1925 and Mooser 1921 ) Mite borne diseases - Scrub typhus (tsutsugamushi disease) Rickettsial pox (Huebner 1946 ) Other rickettsia: non pathogenic Any Gram negative intracellular bacteria= Rickettsiales 3
4 New clinical features NEW RICKETTSIAL DISEASES Many new diseases comparable to Arboviruses no rash but adenopathy (R. slovaca, R. raoultii ) no rash, no inoculation eschar (R. helvetica ) others? Several species involved in a same area R. conorii and R. africae - Africa R. conorii, R. mongolotimonae - France R. conorii, R. aeschlimannii - Spain, North Africa R. typhi and R. felis - USA R. honei and R. australis - Australia R. rickettsii and R. parkeri - USA R. conorii and R. helvetica, R. slovaca - Switzerland 4
5 SITUATION DURING THE XX TH CENTURY One tick borne rickettsiosis per geographical area R. rickettsii agent of RMSF in the USA other found in ticks: non pathogenic rickettsia (such as Coxiella burnetii or Legionella pneumophila) R. conorii alone in Europe and Africa Diagnostic provided by unspecific tools never contradict this! 5

15 HOW TO FIND NEW (RICKETTSIAL) DISEASE 1. Anything atypical is a candidate (seasonal variation, severity, atypical clinical symptoms, atypical host) Exemple in France - R.conorii summer, mild to severe, fever generalized rash, 1 inoculation escar on the body. - R.massiliae South est, adultes males no difference, co-infection with R.conorii - R.sibirica mongolitimonae Spring, mild, several inoculation escars, rope like lymphangitis, adenitis, generalized rash and fever - R.slovaca/R.raoultii Cold season, children and women, scalp inoculation, neck adenitis, post infection fatigue, no fever or rash - R.africae Traveler, very mild, no or low fever, several inoculation eschars, rash in 50 % (vesicular in half case) - R.helvetica fever, no rash, spring no escar 2. Swab escar or vesicule => PCR 15

24 Scalp eschar and neck lymphadenopathy caused by Bartonella henselae after Tick Bite. Angelakis E, Pulcini C, Waton J, Imbert P, Socolovschi C, Edouard S, Dellamonica P, Raoult D. Clin Infect Dis Feb 15;50(4): Abstract Rickettsia slovaca and Rickettsia raoultii have been associated with a syndrome characterized by scalp eschar and neck lymphadenopathy following tick bites. However, in many cases, the causative agent remains undetermined. We report 3 cases of this syndrome caused by Bartonella henselae, and we propose the term "SENLAT" to collectively describe this clinical entity. 24

37 Now in Argentina and Brazil Rickettsia parkeri rickettsiosis and its clinical distinction from Rocky Mountain spotted fever. Paddock CD, Finley RW, Wright CS, Robinson HN, Schrodt BJ, Lane CC, Ekenna O, Blass MA, Tamminga CL, Ohl CA, McLellan SL, Goddard J, Holman RC, Openshaw JJ, Sumner JW, Zaki SR, Eremeeva ME. Clin Infect Dis Nov 1;47(9): BACKGROUND: Rickettsia parkeri rickettsiosis, a recently identified spotted fever transmitted by the Gulf Coast tick (Amblyomma maculatum), was first described in We summarize the clinical and epidemiological features of 12 patients in the United States with confirmed or probable disease attributable to R. parkeri and comment on distinctions between R. parkeri rickettsiosis and other United States rickettsioses. METHODS: Clinical specimens from patients in the United States who reside within the range of A. maculatum for whom an veschar or esicular rash was described were evaluated by > or =1 laboratory assays at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (Atlanta, GA) to identify probable or confirmed infection with R. parkeri. RESULTS: During , clinical samples from 12 patients with illnesses epidemiologically and clinically compatible with R. parkeri rickettsiosis were submitted for diagnostic evaluation. Using indirect immunofluorescence antibody assays, immunohistochemistry, polymerase chain reaction assays, and cell culture isolation, we identified 6 confirmed and 6 probable cases of infection with R. parkeri. The aggregate clinical characteristics of these patients revealed a disease similar to but less severe than classically described Rocky Mountain spotted fever. CONCLUSIONS: Closer attention to the distinct clinical features of the various spotted fever syndromes that exist in the United States and other countries of the Western hemisphere, coupled with more frequent use of specific confirmatory assays, may unveil several unique diseases that have been identified collectively as Rocky Mountain spotted fever during the past century. Accurate assessments of these distinct infections will ultimately provide a more valid description of the currently recognized distribution, incidence, and case-fatality rate of Rocky Mountain spotted fever. 37
38 Detection of Rickettsia amblyommii in association with a tick bite rash. Billeter SA, Blanton HL, Little SE, Levy MG, Breitschwerdt EB. Vector Borne Zoonotic Dis Winter;7(4): In the summer of 2006, an Amblyomma americanum tick was removed from a woman in central North Carolina, who subsequently developed a rash at the site of tick attachment. When examined by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for Borrelia, Anaplasma, Ehrlichia, Babesia, Rickettsia, and Bartonella DNA, only the Rickettsia primers generated an amplicon, which was identified as "R. amblyommii" by sequencing. To our knowledge, this is the first case in which R. amblyommii was temporally associated with a rash. Tick-borne diseases in North Carolina: is "Rickettsia amblyommii" a possible cause of rickettsiosis reported as Rocky Mountain spotted fever? Apperson CS, Engber B, Nicholson WL, Mead DG, Engel J, Yabsley MJ, Dail K, Johnson J, Watson DW. Vector Borne Zoonotic Dis Oct;8(5): Given the low relative abundance of American dog ticks, the high relative abundance of lone star ticks around residences and, the prevalence of R. amblyommii in lone star tick pools, we reasoned that the probable RMSF case patients were being exposed to and possibly infected with another SFGR, most likely R.amblyommii. 38
39 Rickettsia 364D: a newly recognized cause of escharassociated illness in California. Shapiro MR, Fritz CL, Tait K, Paddock CD, Nicholson WL, Abramowicz KF, Karpathy SE, Dasch GA, Sumner JW, Adem PV, Scott JJ, Padgett KA, Zaki SR, Eremeeva ME. Clin Infect Dis Feb 15;50(4): Conclusions. This is the first confirmation of human disease associated with the SFGR 364D, which was likely transmitted by D. occidentalis. Although the patients described here presented with a single cutaneous eschar as the principal manifestation, the full spectrum of illness associated with 364D has yet to be determined. Possible infection with 364D or other SFGR should be confirmed through molecular techniques in patients who present with spotless Rocky Mountain spotted fever or have serum antibodies to R. rickettsii with group-specific assays. 39

58 IN TICKS IN AFRICA Tick-borne rickettsioses, neglected emerging diseases in rural Senegal Mediannikov O, Diatta G, Fenollar F, Sokhna C, Trape JF, Raoult D. PLoS Negl Trop Dis Sep 14;4(9). BACKGROUND: Rickettsioses are one of the most important causes of systemic febrile illness among travelers from developed countries, but little is known about their incidence in indigenous populations, especially in West Africa. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: Overall seroprevalence evaluated by immunofluorescence using six rickettsial antigens (spotted fever and typhus group) in rural populations of two villages of the Sine-Saloum region of Senegal was found to be 21.4% and 51% for spotted fever group rickettsiae for Dielmo and Ndiop villages, respectively. We investigated the role of tick-borne rickettsiae as the cause of acute non-malarial febrile diseases in the same villages. The incidence of rickettsial DNA in 204 blood samples from 134 (62M and 72F) febrile patients negative for malaria was studied. DNA extracted from whole blood was tested by two qpcr systems. Rickettsial DNA was found in nine patients, eight with Rickettsia felis (separately reported). For the first time in West Africa, Rickettsia conorii was diagnosed in one patient. We also tested 2,767 Ixodid ticks collected in two regions of Senegal (Niakhar and Sine-Saloum) from domestic animals (cows, sheep, goats, donkeys and horses) by qpcr and identified five different pathogenic rickettsiae. We found the following: Rickettsia aeschlimannii in Hyalomma marginatum rufipes (51.3% and 44.8% in Niakhar and Sine-Saloum region, respectively), in Hyalomma truncatum (6% and 6.8%) and in Rhipicephalus evertsi evertsi (0.5%, only in Niakhar); R. c. conorii in Rh. e. evertsi (0.4%, only in Sine-Saloum); Rickettsia massiliae in Rhipicephalus guilhoni (22.4%, only in Niakhar); Rickettsia sibirica mongolitimonae in Hyalomma truncatum (13.5%, only in Sine-Saloum); and Rickettsia africae in Rhipicephalus evertsi evertsi (0.7% and 0.4% in Niakhar and Sine-Saloum region, respectively) as well as in Rhipicephalus annulatus (20%, only in Sine-Saloum). We isolated two rickettsial strains from H. truncatum: R. s. mongolitimonae and R. aeschlimannii. CONCLUSIONS/SIGNIFICANCE: We believe that together with our previous data on the high prevalence of R. africae in Amblyomma ticks and R. felis infection in patients, the presented results on the distribution of pathogenic rickettsiae in ticks and the first R. conorii case in West Africa show that the rural population of Senegal is at risk for other tick-borne rickettsioses, which are significant causes of febrile disease in this area. 58

Emerg Infect Dis Jul;16(7): Abstract To determine the cause of acute febrile illnesses other than malaria in the North Eastern Province, Kenya, we investigated rickettsial infection among patients from Garissa Provincial Hospital for 23 months during Nucleic acid preparations of serum from 6 (3.7%) of 163 patients were positive for rickettsial DNA as determined by a genusspecific quantitative real-time PCR and were subsequently confirmed by molecular sequencing to be positive for Rickettsia felis. The 6 febrile patients' symptoms included headache; nausea; and muscle, back, and joint pain. None of the patients had a skin rash. 74

76 Description of "yaaf", the vesicular fever caused by acute Rickettsia felis infection in Senegal. Mediannikov O, Fenollar F, Bassene H, Tall A, Sokhna C, Trape JF, Raoult D. J Infect Oct 13. Rickettsiosis caused by Rickettsia felis is an emerging infection in Africa and may account for 3-4% of ambulatory febrile fevers. We report herein a case of R. felis infection, for which we propose the name "yaaf", meaning vesicle, in an 8-month-old girl who was diagnosed in the field by real-time PCR analysis of a skin lesion; these PCR analysis was performed at a local experimental point-of-care laboratory. The clinical presentation was polymorphous skin lesions, including papules, vesicles, erosions and ulcers. The patient did not produce antibodies against Rickettsia. We suggest that this disease may be a primary infection caused by R. felis. 76 Skin lesions of the patient with a primary infection with R. felis. a general appearance; b ulcerative lesions; c vesicles.
