  abstract = {{T}he presence of tick-borne {R}ickettsia spp. was examined by {PCR} using {DNA} samples extracted from 254 ticks collected from mammals originating from northern and eastern {S}ardinia, {I}taly. {T}he spotted fever group rickettsial agent {R}ickettsia conorii israelensis was detected in 3 {R}hipicephalus sanguineus ticks from a dog for the first time in this geographical area. {I}n addition, {R}i. massiliae, {RI}. slovaca, and {RI}. aeschlimannii were detected in {R}h. turanicus, {R}h. sanguineus, {D}ermacentor marginatus, and {H}yalomma marginatum marginatum ticks from dogs, goats, wild boar, and horse. {M}oreover, {C}andidatus {R}ickettsia barbariae was detected in 2 {R}h. turanicus ticks from goats. {T}he detection of {RI}. conorii israelensis, an emergent agent which causes {I}sraeli spotted fever, increases our knowledge on tick-borne rickettsioses in {S}ardinia.},
