Background: Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF) is a challenge for physicians because the disease can mimic other endemic febrile illnesses, such as dengue and COVID-19. The comparison of their main clinical and epidemiological manifestations in hospitalized children can help identify characteristics that improve empirical suspicion and timely therapeutic interventions.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on a series of patients aged 0 to 18 years, hospitalized between 2015 and 2022, with a diagnosis of RMSF, dengue, or COVID-19.

Background: Brazilian spotted fever is a tick-borne disease caused by the bacterium Rickettsia rickettsii, whose main vector in Brazil is the tick Amblyomma sculptum. Amplifying hosts are essential for the perpetuation of this bacterium in the tick population as they can be sources of infection during bacteremic periods. Recent studies demonstrated the ability of suids (Sus scrofa) to sustain populations of A.

Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, caused by the gram-negative intracellular bacteria Rickettsia rickettsii, is a serious tick-borne infection with a fatality rate of 20-30%, if not treated. Since it is the most serious rickettsial disease in North America, modified prevention and treatment strategies are of critical importance. In order to find new therapeutic targets and create multiepitope vaccines, this study integrated subtractive proteomics with reverse vaccinology.

Article Synopsis
  • Ticks are major ectoparasites that spread serious diseases like Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever, posing challenges for public health and livestock due to emerging resistance to acaricides.
  • The review discusses how genetic mutations, metabolic processes, and behavior contribute to this resistance, while also highlighting the economic impact estimated at $20 billion in livestock loss annually.
  • It emphasizes the need for new acaricides, innovative control strategies, and regular monitoring to effectively manage tick populations and protect public health and livestock productivity.

Article Synopsis
  • * Between July 2023 and January 2024, California reported six RMSF cases linked to exposure in Tecate, Mexico, raising concerns as it was previously not identified as a high-risk area, and three of these cases were fatal.
  • * Effective detection of RMSF cases necessitated collaborative efforts among various public health agencies, highlighting the need for increased awareness among healthcare providers to enable quicker diagnoses and treatments on both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border.
