Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 1 Western blot assay and cross adsorption studies of an immunofluorescence-positive serum sample from a patient with rickettsiosis in Algeria. Antibodies were detected at the highest titer (IgG 64/512 IgM) for both R. conorii and R. typhi antigens. Columns Rc and Rt: Western blots using R. conorii and R. typhi antigens, respectively. MW: molecular weights are indicated on the left. When adsorption is performed with R. conorii antigens (column Ads with Rc Ag), it results in the disappearance of the signal from homologous and heterologous antibodies, but when it is performed with R. typhi antigens (column Ads with Rt Ag), only homologous antibody signals disappear, indicating that the antibodies are specific for R. conorii.

Article Snippet: Tick-borne rickettsioses are caused by the obligate intracellular bacteria spotted fever group (SFG) Rickettsia sppwithin the family Rickettsiaceae in the order Rickettsiales.1 These zoonoses are among the oldest known vector-borne diseases, but they are also now recognized as emerging or reemerging Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. human infections worldwide, with a dozen new tick-borne rickettsial species or subspecies recognized as human pathogens since 1984.1,2 These diseases share characteristic clinical features, including fever, rash, and sometimes an inoculation eschar at the bite site, depending on the rickettsial agent that is involved.1 The first case of Mediterranean spotted fever (MSF) was reported in Tunisia, North Africa in 1910.3 In the 1930s, the role of the brown dog tick, Rhipicephalus sanguineus, and the causative agent (Rickettsia conorii) were described.4 Recently, the nomenclature of the several strains recognized as belonging to the so-called R. conorii complex has been modified and several species have been named including R. conorii subsp. conorii subsp. nov. (type strain = Malish, ATCC VR-613), the agent of MSF.5 There are only a few fragmentary reports on the ecology and epidemiology of rickettsioses in North Africa.6—8 In Algeria, MSF due to R. conorii has been the sole human tick-borne rickettsiosis known by clinicians, although tickborne rickettsial agents other than R. conorii have recently been detected in ticks, including Rickettsia aeschlimannii and Rickettsia massiliae.
