The western black-legged tick (Ixodes pacificus) is the most frequently identified human-biting tick species in the western United States and the principal vector of at least three recognized bacterial pathogens of humans. A potentially pathogenicRickettsiaspecies, first described in 1978 and recently characterized as a novel transitional group agent designated asRickettsia tillamookensis, also exists among populations ofI. pacificus, although the distribution and frequency of this agent are poorly known. We evaluated DNA extracts from 348 host-seekingI. pacificusnymphs collected from 9 locations in five California counties, and from 916I. pacificusadults collected from 24 locations in 13 counties, by using a real-time PCR designed specifically to detect DNA ofR. tillamookensis.DNA ofR. tillamookensiswas detected in 10 (2.9%) nymphs (95% CI: 1.6–5.2%) and 17 (1.9%) adults (95% CI: 1.2–3.0%) from 11 counties of northern California. Although site-specific infection rates varied greatly, frequencies of infection remained consistently low when aggregated by stage, sex, habitat type, or geographical region. Four novel isolates ofR. tillamookensiswere cultivated in Vero E6 cells from individual adult ticks collected from Alameda, Nevada, and Yolo counties. Four historical isolates, serotyped previously as ‘Tillamook-like’ strains over 40 yr ago, were revived from long-term storage in liquid nitrogen and confirmed subsequently by molecular methods as isolates ofR. tillamookensis. The potential public health impact ofR. tillamookensisrequires further investigation.
