TOPICS
ABSTRACT
Rickettsiae from the spotted fever group, i.e. the etiological agents of tick-borne lymphadenopathy/Dermacentor-borne
necrotic erythema and lymphadenopathy (TIBOLA /DEBONEL) syndrome, are associated with ticks, including Dermacentor
marginatus and Dermacentor reticulatus. The expansion of these ticks into new areas increases the risk of infection of their hosts
with tick-borne pathogens. The study summarises the importance of 2 species from the genus Dermacentor, i.e. D. marginatus
and D. reticulatus, in the spread of spotted fever group rickettsiae in various regions of Europe. The study also focuses on the
determinants of the presence of vectors and transmission of rickettsiae, as well as the effects of human infections with these
pathogens. The climate changes observed nowadays affect vectors and increase the incidence and spread of tick-borne
diseases worldwide. Due to the existing risk of exposure to an increasing number of people, knowledge about the course
of these serious diseases and their etiological factors should be disseminated among healthcare professionals as well as
in society. There is a great challenge for epidemiological services to provide access to medical and veterinary facilities in
order to diagnose and treat rickettsioses. Therefore, the development of a strategy for tick control and the popularisation
of knowledge concerning prophylaxis of tick-borne diseases is indispensable.
