Genome Sequence of Rickettsia tamurae, a Recently Detected Human Pathogen in Japan
نویسندگان
چکیده
Rickettsia tamurae is a member of the spotted fever group rickettsiae, which was reported in 2011 to cause human infections in Japan. We report the draft genome sequence of R. tamurae strain AT-1(T), isolated from Amblyomma testudinarium ticks.

The First Human Case of Rickettsia tamurae Infection in Japan
A case of Rickettsia tamurae infection in Japan is reported. A 76-year-old Japanese male had a tick bite which developed to local skin inflammation on his left leg. Anti-rickettsia antibodies were detected in his serum, and R. tamurae DNA was identified in his blood, the lesional skin, and the tick.
متن کاملDetection of Rickettsia tamurae DNA in ticks and wild boar (Sus scrofa leucomystax) skins in Shimane Prefecture, Japan.
We used 24 wild boars trapped from December 2009 to January 2010 and a further 65 from July 2010 to August 2010 in Misato Town, Shimane Prefecture, Japan. We collected blood, spleens, skins and ticks from the wild boars, which were examined for rickettsial infections using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) primers for the genes rickettsial 17-kDa antigen and citrate synthase (gltA). We amplified ...

متن کاملGenome Sequence of Rickettsia gravesii, Isolated from Western Australian Ticks
Rickettsia gravesii is a new Rickettsia species closely related to the human pathogen Rickettsia massiliae. Here, we describe the genome sequence of R. gravesii strain BWI-1, isolated from Amblyomma triguttatum triguttatum ticks collected from humans on Barrow Island, Western Australia.
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.
