Genome Sequence of Rickettsia hoogstraalii, a Geographically Widely Distributed Tick-Associated Bacterium
نویسندگان
چکیده
Rickettsia hoogstraalii is a tick-associated member of the spotted fever group rickettsiae that is geographically widely distributed. We report here the draft genome of R. hoogstraalii strain Croatica(T) (=DSM 22243 = UTMB 00003), which was isolated from Haemaphysalis sulcata ticks collected in Croatia.

Genome sequence of Rickettsia australis, the agent of Queensland tick typhus.
Rickettsia australis strain Phillips(T) was isolated in Queensland, Australia, in 1950. It is the tick-borne agent of Queensland tick typhus, a disease endemic in Australia. The 1.29-Mb genome sequence of this bacterium is highly similar to that of Rickettsia akari but contains two plasmids.

متن کاملExtremely Low Genomic Diversity of Rickettsia japonica Distributed in Japan
Rickettsiae are obligate intracellular bacteria that have small genomes as a result of reductive evolution. Many Rickettsia species of the spotted fever group (SFG) cause tick-borne diseases known as "spotted fevers". The life cycle of SFG rickettsiae is closely associated with that of the tick, which is generally thought to act as a bacterial vector and reservoir that maintains the bacterium t...

Rickettsia aeschlimannii is a tick-associated human pathogen. We report here the draft genome of R. aeschlimannii strain MC16, isolated from Hyalomma marginatum marginatum ticks collected in Morocco.
متن کاملComplete genome sequence of Rickettsia slovaca, the agent of tick-borne lymphadenitis.
The present study reports the complete and annotated genome sequence of the human pathogen Rickettsia slovaca strain 13-B, which was isolated from a Dermacentor tick in Slovakia in 1968. The 1.27-Mb genome provides further insights into the acquisition of virulence related to genome reduction in Rickettsia species.
