  abstract = {{T}he spotted fevers, caused by the {R}ickettsia bacteria, are a group of emerging diseases that are responsible for significant human morbidity. {I}n {A}frica, the distribution of different species of {R}ickettsia in their tick vectors is poorly studied. {W}e have collected 1169 hard ticks from 5 different species in the northern {S}enegal, close to the {S}aharan border. {I}n a far northern collection site, corresponding to the {R}ickettsia africae distribution area, we collected three {A}mblyomma variegatum ticks infected by {R}. africae. {R}ickettsia africae was also identified in a {H}yalomma marginatum rufipes tick, which may represent the secondary host for the pathogen. {R}ickettsia aeschlimannii was identified in {H}. m. rufipes, {R}hipicephalus evertsi evertsi, and {H}yalomma impeltatum ticks.},
