We analyzed rickettsial DNA of ticks from tick-borne lymphadenopathy (TIBOLA) patients. Dermacentor marginatus (9/17) and Dermacentor reticulatus (8/17) transmitted rickettsiae to a similar extent. Rickettsia raoultii was detected in more ticks than Rickettsia slovaca. We observed the development of TIBOLA symptoms after the bite of males of both tick species. (C) 2013 Elsevier Inc.
