Abstract
Borrelia garinii and Rickettsia monacensis in Ixodes ricinus ticks, Algeria.
Highlights
I. ricinus ticks are known to harbor spotted fever group rickettsiae, including Rickettsia monacensis, which was detected in Algeria in 2009 [4]
5.0% (4/80) of I. ricinus ticks were positive for Borrelia spp. and 8.75% (7/80) were positive for Rickettsia spp
Using a standard PCR specific for the flaB gene, we identified B. garinii in all ticks positive by quantitative real-time PCR (100% similarity, 736/736 bp)
