Abstract

Abstract:

Objective To study the rickettsial disease infection situation in rural populations in the west of Yiyuan and provide scientific basis to control and prevent natural focal diseases. Methods We collected 192 sera from farmers in the west of Yiyuan County, Shandong Province and tested them by indirect-immunofluorescence assay (IFA) for antibodies of Orientia tsutsugamushi, Rickettsia typhi and Spotted fever rickettsia. Results 56.77% (109/192), 79.69% (153/192) and 69.79% (134/192) sera were positive for antibodies of Orientia tsutsugamushi, Rickettsia typhi and Spotted fever rickettsia, respectively. Conclusion The results indicate high prevalences of these rickettsial diseases in this area.
