Rickettsiae were detected by the hemocyte test in 7.2% of Dermacentor marginatus and 4.7% of D. reticulatus ticks collected in Hungary. Six strains of rickettsiae were isolated from positive specimens. These rickettsiae according to CFR are closely related, probably identical with R. slovaca and represent the 1st rickettsiae of the spotted fever group found in that country.
