First molecular diagnosis of the human pathogen <i>Rickettsia raoultii</i> and other spotted fever group rickettsiae in Sudanese ixodid ticks from domestic ruminants
These results indicated the presence of SFG rickettsia in Sudanese ticks. This also indicates that humans have an opportunity to acquire these infections. It is important to keep in mind the need for careful consideration of rickettsial infections in individuals with a fever of unknown origin.
