Overview

Observational analysis detects Rickettsia asembonensis in fleas, indicating a need for enhanced surveillance.

Key Points

  • Detection of rickettsia asembonensis expands knowledge of Rickettsia diversity in Italy.
  • Multilocus molecular analyses showed 100% genetic identity to strains from various countries.
  • Fleas collected from both domestic and wild hosts were screened across Sardinia from 2021 to 2024.
  • Sustained monitoring of fleas may clarify the zoonotic potential of R. asembonensis and other pathogens.
