    Rickettsiales order microbes cause 14 human diseases globally, with 8 in Russia. While some rickettsial diseases are eradicated, others like ehrlichiosis and Bartonella remain a public health concern.

    Area of Science:

    • Microbiology
    • Epidemiology
    • Infectious Diseases

    Context:

    • Microbes from Rickettsiaceae and Bartonellaceae families within the Rickettsiales order are responsible for numerous human diseases worldwide.
    • Approximately eight distinct nosological forms of these diseases are documented in Russia and former Soviet republics.
    • The epidemiological landscape of these rickettsial diseases has historically varied significantly across regions.

    Purpose:

    • To review the global and regional impact of Rickettsiales order microbes on human health.
    • To highlight the historical eradication and current status of specific rickettsial diseases.
    • To identify emerging or understudied rickettsial diseases in Russia.

    Summary:

    • Rickettsiales order microbes have caused at least 14 distinct human diseases globally, with a significant burden in Russia and former Soviet republics.

  • Historically, diseases such as trench fever, Marseilles fever, murine typhus, and rickettsialpox have been successfully controlled and eliminated for decades.
  • While some rickettsial infections have diminished in epidemiological significance, others like ehrlichiosis, Bartonella, and tsutsugamushi fever require further investigation in Russia due to ongoing public health relevance.

    • Impact:

    • Provides a historical overview of rickettsial disease epidemiology, noting successful public health interventions.
    • Identifies specific rickettsial diseases that have been eradicated or significantly reduced in prevalence.
    • Emphasizes the continued threat posed by certain rickettsial infections and the need for further research into understudied diseases like ehrlichiosis and Bartonella in Russia.
