Rickettsia asembonensis , the most well-characterized rickettsia of the  Rickettsia felis -like organisms (RFLO), is relatively unknown within the vector-borne diseases research community. The agent was initially identified in peri-domestic fleas from Asembo, Kenya in an area in which  R. felis  was associated with fever patients. Local fleas collected from domestic animals and within homes were predominately infected with  R. asembonensis  with < 10% infected with  R. felis . Since the identification of  R. asembonensis  in Kenya, it has been reported in other locations within Africa, Asia, the Middle East, Europe, North America, and South America. With the description of  R. asembonensis -like genotypes across the globe, a need exists to isolate these  R. asembonensis  genotypes in cell culture, conduct microscopic, and biological analysis, as well as whole genome sequencing to ascertain whether they are the same species. Additionally, interest has been building on the potential of  R. asembonensis  in infecting vertebrate hosts including humans, non-human primates, dogs, and other animals. The current knowledge of the presence, prevalence, and distribution of  R. asembonensis  worldwide, as well as its arthropod hosts and potential as a pathogen are discussed in this manuscript.
