Tick-borne rickettsioses (TBRs) have similar clinical symptoms and can give serological cross-reaction. We firstly found that in the natural foci of North Asian tick typhus (NATT) in the Altai region of Russia, TBRs can be caused by two Rickettsia species: Rickettsia sibirica subsp. sibirica (causative agent of NATT) and Rickettsia heilongjiangensis. Rickettsial DNA was detected in primary lesions, serum samples and blood clots using real-time PCR. Therefore, each case of TBRs should be verified by using molecular typing. TBR caused by R. sibirica subsp. sibirica - NATT dominates on the territory of Altai region.
蜱传立克次体病（TBRs）具有相似的临床症状，并且会出现血清学交叉反应。我们首次发现，在俄罗斯阿尔泰地区的北亚蜱传斑疹伤寒（NATT）自然疫源地，TBRs可由两种立克次体引起：西伯利亚立克次体西伯利亚亚种（NATT的病原体）和黑龙江立克次体。使用实时PCR在原发性损伤、血清样本和血凝块中检测到立克次体DNA。因此，每例TBRs都应通过分子分型进行验证。由西伯利亚立克次体西伯利亚亚种引起的TBR——NATT在阿尔泰地区占主导地位。
