From 2001 to 2005, 496 ticks representing 7 tick species were analysed at the Hospital de La Rioja. Ticks were removed from humans with or without rickettsial syndrome (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>= 59) or collected from mammals (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>= 371) or from vegetation by dragging (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>= 66). The presence of SFG <jats:italic>Rickettsia<\/jats:italic> in these ticks was investigated by semi\u2010nested PCR (<jats:italic>ompA<\/jats:italic> gene) and sequencing. A phylogenetic tree using Clustal method (neighbor\u2010joining) was constructed with these data. Only 3 of 170 <jats:italic>Hyalomma marginatum<\/jats:italic> ticks carried SFG Rickettsia. Sequencing analysis demonstrated the presence of <jats:italic>Rickettsia aeschlimannii<\/jats:italic> (1.8%). Furthermore, <jats:italic>Rickettsia massiliae<\/jats:italic> and BAR29 were found in 3 of 120 <jats:italic>Rhipicephalus sanguineus<\/jats:italic> specimens (2.5%). In contrast, 81 of 83 tested <jats:italic>Dermacentor marginatus<\/jats:italic> ticks were PCR\u2010positive (97%). <jats:italic>Rickettsia slovaca<\/jats:italic> (40.6%) and <jats:italic>Rickettsia<\/jats:italic> sp. strains RpA4, DnS14, DnS28 and JL\u201002 (59.3%) were found within this tick species. No SFG <jats:italic>Rickettsia<\/jats:italic> was detected using <jats:italic>ompA<\/jats:italic> primers when <jats:italic>Ixodes ricinus, Rhipicephalus bursa, Rhipicephalus turanicus, Rhipicephalus eversti eversti, Hyalomma detritum scupense and Rhipicephalus<\/jats:italic> sp. were analyzed. We detected 17.5% of ticks associated with different SFG <jats:italic>Rickettsia<\/jats:italic>: <jats:italic>R. aeschlimannii<\/jats:italic>, <jats:italic>R. massiliae<\/jats:italic>, BAR29, <jats:italic>R. slovaca<\/jats:italic> and <jats:italic>Rickettsia<\/jats:italic> sp. strains RpA4, DnS14, DnS28 and JL\u201002. Their presence has to be taken into account since most of them have been recognized as human pathogens.<\/jats:bold> <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1196\/annals.1374.060","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,11,18]],"date-time":"2006-11-18T02:13:56Z","timestamp":1163816036000},"page":"320-323","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":35,"title":["Prevalence of Spotted Fever Group <i>Rickettsia<\/i> Species Detected in Ticks in La Rioja, Spain"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"1078","author":[{"given":"J.A.","family":"OTEO","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"A.","family":"PORTILLO","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"S.","family":"SANTIB\u00c1\u00d1EZ","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"L.","family":"P\u00c9REZ\u2010MART\u00cdNEZ","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"J.R.","family":"BLANCO","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"S.","family":"JIM\u00c9NEZ","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"V.","family":"IBARRA","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"A.","family":"P\u00c9REZ\u2010PALACIOS","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"M.","family":"SANZ","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2006,10,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_5_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0213-005X(02)72740-7"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10096-004-1184-7"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3201\/eid0807.010480"}],"container-title":["Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/api.wiley.com\/onlinelibrary\/tdm\/v1\/articles\/10.1196%2Fannals.1374.060","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/nyaspubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1196\/annals.1374.060","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,25]],"date-time":"2023-09-25T19:07:57Z","timestamp":1695668877000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/nyaspubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1196\/annals.1374.060"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2006,10]]},"references-count":3,"journal-issue":{"issue":"1","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2006,10]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1196\/annals.1374.060"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1196\/annals.1374.060","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0077-8923","1749-6632"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0077-8923","type":"print"},{"value":"1749-6632","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2006,10]]}}}
