First molecular evidence of Rickettsia conorii subsp. raoultii from Rhipicephalus linnaei (Acari: Ixodidae) infesting pet rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus domesticus) (Lagomorpha: Leporidae) in Peninsular Malaysia.
A total of 68 adult hard ticks were recovered from 5 cases of infestation involving pet rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus domesticus) in Malaysia. The ticks were later identified as the tropical brown dog tick, Rhipicephalus linnaei (Audouin, 1826). Pathogen screening showed 2 out of the 68 Rh. linnaei ticks (2.94% infection rate) were positive for Rickettsia. BLAST analyses revealed that both samples were identical to Rickettsia conorii subsp. raoultii. This paper reports the first detection of R. conorii subsp. raoultii in Rh. linnaei, also highlighting the potential zoonotic threat posed by ticks infesting exotic pets such as rabbits.
