  abstract = {{T}ick-borne rickettsioses are caused by obligate intracellular bacteria belonging to the spotted fever group of the genus {R}ickettsia. {T}hese zoonoses are among the oldest known vector-borne diseases. {H}owever, in the past 25 years, the scope and importance of the recognized tick-associated rickettsial pathogens have increased dramatically, making this complex of diseases an ideal paradigm for the understanding of emerging and reemerging infections. {S}everal species of tick-borne rickettsiae that were considered nonpathogenic for decades are now associated with human infections, and novel {R}ickettsia species of undetermined pathogenicity continue to be detected in or isolated from ticks around the world. {T}his remarkable expansion of information has been driven largely by the use of molecular techniques that have facilitated the identification of novel and previously recognized rickettsiae in ticks. {N}ew approaches, such as swabbing of eschars to obtain material to be tested by {PCR}, have emerged in recent years and have played a role in describing emerging tick-borne rickettsioses. {H}ere, we present the current knowledge on tick-borne rickettsiae and rickettsioses using a geographic approach toward the epidemiology of these diseases.},
