  abstract = {{S}potted fever group ({SFG}) rickettsioses are caused by obligate, intracellular {G}ram-negative bacteria of the genus {R}ickettsia. {I}n recent years, several species and subspecies of rickettsias have been identified as emerging pathogens throughout the world, including sub-{S}aharan {A}frica. {W}e report here the detection of {R}ickettsia africae, the agent responsible for {A}frican tick-bite fever, by amplification of fragments of glt{A} and omp{A} genes and multi-spacer typing from {H}yalomma dromedarii ticks collected from the camel {C}amel us dromedarius in the {A}drar and {B}echar region (sub-{S}aharan {A}lgeria). {T}o date, {R}. africae has been associated mainly with {A}mblyomma spp. {T}he role of {H}. dromedarii in the epidemiology of {R}. africae requires further investigation.},
