“…This rickettsial disease is included in the spotted fever group due its phylogenetic characteristics, but it has not yet been isolated in humans. 4,9,14,19,27 DEBONEL/TIBOLA or tick-borne lymphadenopathy is caused by Dermacentor tick bite and has been recently described by Raoult et al 32 in France, Lakos 19 in Hungary and Oteo et al 28 in Spain. Its pathogen, R. slovaca, is borne by the Dermacentor marginatus vector.…”

The present study is an update review on the occurrence and diagnosis of rickettsial diseases in Brazil and Portugal, aiming at promoting their epidemiological surveillance in both countries. A literature review was carried out and unpublished data of laboratories and surveillance systems were presented. The results described the occurrence of rickettsial diseases and infections in Brazil and Portugal, including other new and still poorly understood rickettsial infections. Current diagnostic methods were discussed. As in many other countries, rickettsial diseases and infections seem to be an emerging public health problem. Treated as a minor problem for many decades, the interest in these infections has increased in both countries but further studies are needed to establish their role as a public health problem.

“…The species R. sibirica, R. australis and R. slovaca are among those not yet associated to any particular clinical manifestations. 4,6,19,26,32 It has been proposed to move the species R. canadensis from the exanthematous typhus group to create a new ancestral group, which would also include R. bellii. 34 …”

“…Some rickettsiae first thought to be nonpathogenic have later been associated with human disease, such as R. slovaca [1], R. helvetica [2], R. aeschlimannii [3] and, more recently, the Spanish strain Bar29 (R. massiliae genogroup), which seems to play a role in the pathogenesis of Mediterranean Spotted Fever [4].…”

“…One such example is Tick Borne Lymphadenopathy (TIBOLA) caused by Rickettsia slovaca. It belongs to the SFG and was first described as a human pathogen in 1997 [3]. Clinical features of TIBOLA include a tick bite, an inoculation eschar especially on the scalp, cervical lymphadenopathy, fever seen only in 25-30% of patients and delayed antibody response [4].…”
