  • Title: Increased Seroprevalence of Typhus Group Rickettsiosis, Galveston County, Texas, USA.
    Author: Blanton LS, Caravedo Martinez MA, Mendell N, Villasante-Tezanos A, Walker DH, Bouyer D.
    Journal: Emerg Infect Dis; 2023 Jan; 29(1):212-214. PubMed ID: 36573645.
    Abstract:
    Whether increases in typhus group rickettsiosis in Galveston County, Texas, USA, are caused by increased recognition or true reemergence is unclear. We conducted a serosurvey that demonstrated Rickettsia typhi antibodies increased from 1.2% in 2013 to 7.8% in 2021 (p<0.001). These findings support pathogen reemergence rather than enhanced recognition alone.
