چکیده
In 2016, Rickettsia sibirica mongolitimonae was diagnosed for a man in Turkey. He had been bitten by a Hyalomma marginatum tick, from which PCR detected rickettsial DNA. Sequence analysis of the DNA identified R. sibirica mongolitimonae. Immunofluorescence assay of patient serum indicated R. conorii, which cross-reacts. PCR is recommended for rickettsiosis diagnoses.

the presence of Rickettsia sp. in cell culture, and R. sibirica mongolitimonae was identifi ed by PCR and sequencing as described above (online Appendix Figure). R. sibirica mongolitimonae was fi rst isolated in Beijing in 1991 from H. asiaticum ticks (formerly named R. sibirica HA-91), and the fi rst human infection was reported in 1996 (4). Since that time, R. sibirica mongolitimonae infectio...
