Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the prevalence of spotted fever group rickettsiae (SFGR), which cause tick-borne rickettsiosis, in ticks from the Republic of Korea (ROK).
- Researchers aimed to accurately identify SFGR in ticks using molecular methods, including polymerase chain reaction and sequencing, to better understand infection rates.
- Out of 302 collected ticks, the overall SFGR infection rate was found to be 26.8%, with peaks in June, highlighting the need for ongoing tick surveillance for public health management.
This study investigated the prevalence of and in 494 engorged ticks collected from various animal hosts, including cattle, horses, sheep, chickens, dogs, and cats, in six regions of northern Kyrgyzstan. Ten tick species, belonging to two families and six genera, were identified based on , 16S rRNA, and genes: (26.5%), (18.

They include bacteria, viruses, and protozoan parasites. To provide fundamental data on the risk of tick contact and public health strategies, we aimed to perform a molecular investigation on four tick-borne bacterial pathogens in ticks collected from humans across the Republic of Korea (ROK) in 2021.

To determine the state of human and infections caused by tick bites in the Republic of Korea (ROK), we conducted a nationwide investigation of human cases of tick bites in 2020. A total of 180 ticks were obtained, comprising (70.

- * Fecal samples from 1241 patients with acute diarrhea were analyzed in 2020, leading to the detection of 24 cases of one pathogen and one case of another using PCR techniques.
- * The findings indicate that these pathogens are not only found in animals but also in humans in the ROK, highlighting the need for ongoing monitoring to track these agents in patients with acute diarrhea.
