detection of spotted fever group rickettsiae in ticks and rodents by polymerase chain reaction technique in people's republic of china.	the polymerase chain reaction (pcr) technique for amplification of genomic fragments of spotted fever group (sfg) rickettsiae directly from field samples of ticks, tick ova, tick larvae, tick faeces and organs of wild mice was employed for the first time in p.r. of china. ticks and rodents were collected in beijing and heilongjiang, hainan and hebei provinces. the pcr primers were designed from the dna sequence encoding the 190 k protein of r. rickettsii for a 532 bp long product. seven of ten t ...	1995	8722295
geographical distribution of pseudomonas pseudomallei in china.	1,366 samples of soil and water from southern china coastal provinces were examined for pseudomonas pseudomallei. data showed that 58 samples were positive for this bacteria, which is primarily distributed in hainan province and the coastal region of mainland. this paper confirmed the environmental presence of p. pseudomallei in china and showed that the distribution of this pathogen has at least reached a latitude of 25.5 degrees north.	1995	9139366
