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.
2016年，土耳其一名男子被诊断感染西伯利亚立克次体蒙古亚种。他曾被边缘璃眼蜱叮咬，通过聚合酶链反应（PCR）检测到立克次体DNA。对该DNA进行序列分析后鉴定为西伯利亚立克次体蒙古亚种。患者血清的免疫荧光检测显示存在交叉反应的康氏立克次体。推荐使用PCR诊断立克次体病。
