The SF group rickettsioses, most of which are transmitted by ticks, share many common features in clinical presentations, including (1) incubation periods of approximately one week; (2) flu-like prodromes of high fever, fatigue, headache, myalgia, arthralgia, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain (that may mimic acute appendicitis in RMSF); (3) spotty rashes within three to five days of fever onset; and (4) necrotic eschars at tick-bite sites.

New research has also revealed that multiple tick species within the Amblyomma genus can harbor R parkeri (3,12) The many novel findings concerning R parkeri human infection indicate that much is still unknown about many human rickettsioses. Infection with R parkeri poses a significant threat to public health (2) because at least one-third of reported RMSF cases are believed to be caused by R parkeri.
