Here we report the amplification of DNA of \u003cjats:italic\u003eR. heilongjiangensis\u003c/jats:italic\u003e from both the skin biopsy of an acutely ill patient and the tick removed from him prior to the disease development. The tick has been identified as \u003cjats:italic\u003eHaemaphysalis\u003c/jats:italic\u003e spp. The clinical picture was that of a spotted fever group rickettsiosis and a seroconversion was noted with \u003cjats:italic\u003eR. heilongjiangensis\u003c/jats:italic\u003e antigen\u003c/jats:bold\u003e\n          \u003cjats:italic\u003e.\u003c/jats:italic\u003e\n          \u003cjats:bold\u003eScreening testing of both species of \u003cjats:italic\u003eHaemaphysalis\u003c/jats:italic\u003e ticks inhabiting Russian Far Eastern regions showed that up to 28.13% of \u003cjats:italic\u003eH. concinnae\u003c/jats:italic\u003e and 4.48% of \u003cjats:italic\u003eH. japonica douglasii\u003c/jats:italic\u003e ticks harbor \u003cjats:italic\u003eR. heilongjiangensis.\u003c/jats:italic\u003e It has been concluded that \u003cjats:italic\u003eH. concinnae\u003c/jats:italic\u003e may serve as the main vector for the transmission of \u003cjats:italic\u003eR. heilongjiangensis. H. japonica douglasii\u003c/jats:italic\u003e ticks harbor several varieties of rickettsiae. DNA of “\u003cjats:italic\u003eCandidatus\u003c/jats:italic\u003e Rickettsia tarasevichiae,” previously found in \u003cjats:italic\u003eIxodes persulcatus\u003c/jats:italic\u003e ticks, was amplified from one male tick. Two sequenced complete gltA genes belong to the novel spotted fever group rickettsial species provisionally called here “\u003cjats:italic\u003eCandidatus Rickettsia principis\u003c/jats:italic\u003e” variants Hjd54 and Hjd61. The rate of infection has been found to be not higher than 1.5%.\u003c/jats:bold\u003e \u003c/jats:p\u003e","long_citation_html":"Mediannikov et al. (2006).
