Genome Sequence of Rickettsia gravesii, Isolated from Western Australian Ticks
نویسندگان
چکیده
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.

High prevalence of Rickettsia gravesii sp. nov. in Amblyomma triguttatum collected from feral pigs.
A survey of ectoparasites on feral pigs identified two commonly occurring ixodid tick species; Amblyomma triguttatum triguttatum and Ixodes australiensis. Molecular screening of A. t. triguttatum and I. australiensis for the presence of Rickettsia species detected the presence of rickettsiae belonging to the Spotted Fever Group (SFG) in 78.4% of screened A. t. triguttatum. None of the screened ...

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.
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.
