(l.) fletcheri chiggers were characterized by direct immunofluorescence (fa) and by mouse and monkey virulence tests. the strains existing in the l. (l.) arenicola chiggers consisted of different combinations of ta716, ta763, ta686, karp, and kato. in addition to these five strains, gilliam was found in the l. (l.) fletcheri chiggers. results indicate that ind ...19826176132
gamma-irradiated scrub typhus immunogens: development of cell-mediated immunity after vaccination of inbred mice.mice immunized with three injections of gamma-irradiated karp strain of rickettsia tsutsugamushi were evaluated for the presence of cell-mediated immunity by using delayed-type hypersensitivity, antigen-induced lymphocyte proliferation, and antigen-induced lymphokine production. these animals also were evaluated for levels of circulating antibody after immunization as well as for the presence of rickettsemia after intraperitoneal challenge with viable karp rickettsiae. after immunization with ir ...19836185433
development of specific and cross-reactive lymphocyte proliferative responses during chronic immunizing infections with rickettsia tsutsugamushi.the development of antigen-responsive lymphocytes was followed in mice immunized with the gilliam, karp, or kato strains of rickettsia tsutsugamushi by utilizing an in vitro lymphocyte proliferation assay. subcutaneous immunization with viable rickettsiae of all three strains resulted in the appearance of lymphocytes in the spleen responding to irradiated tissue culture-grown rickettsiae used as stimulating antigens. although all animals demonstrated antigen-induced proliferation elicited by hom ...19836187688
surface morphology of rickettsia tsutsugamushi-infected mouse fibroblasts.sequential morphological changes of the l-cell surface after infection with rickettsia tsutsugamushi (gilliam strain) have been examined by scanning electron microscopy and ruthenium red staining technique. adherence of inoculated rickettsiae to the host-cell surface and their engulfment by the cell were seen at 30 min and have still proceeded at 24 hr post infection (p.i.). progeny rickettsiae which were lifting up the host cell membrane by budding were observed on the cell surface at 48 hr p.i ...19826188355
role of t-lymphocytes in production of antibody to antigens of rickettsia tsutsugamushi and other rickettsia species.the requirement of thymus-dependent lymphocytes for antibody production to rickettsia tsutsugamushi, rickettsia akari, rickettsia conorii, and rickettsia typhi was investigated by comparing antibody production in athymic (nu/nu) or thymus-bearing balb/c mice. athymic balb/c mice produced antibody after infection with r. akari, r. conorii, and r. typhi as measured by indirect fluorescent antibody titration or radioimmunoassay. antibody production in these mice was a great or greater than in the t ...19836223883
purification of rickettsia tsutsugamushi by percoll density gradient centrifugation.purification of rickettsia tsutsugamushi has been achieved by percoll density gradient centrifugation. the microorganisms purified showed good retention of infectivity and intracellular morphology. budding rickettsiae in the egressing stage and intracellular rickettsiae in the multiplying process were harvested separately and purified by this technique. in electron microscopic observations, the intracellular rickettsiae obtained were surrounded with double membrane-layers of cell wall and cell m ...19826287181
role of macrophages in innate and acquired host resistance to experimental scrub typhus infection of inbred mice.mechanisms of innate resistance to infection with the gilliam strain of rickettsia tsutsugamushi were examined using congenic strains of mice resistant (c3h/rv) or susceptible (c3h/he) to intraperitoneal infection. both strains of mice were resistant to infection with 1,000 50% mouse lethal doses of rickettsiae if given intravenously. in both systems rickettsial replication occurred after intravenous infection, as evidenced by an increase in rickettsial numbers in the spleens of infected animals ...19826290388
production of gamma interferon in mice immune to rickettsia tsutsugamushi.c3h/he mice immunized by subcutaneous infection with rickettsia tsutsugamushi gilliam were examined for the production of immune interferon after intravenous administration of irradiated strain gilliam antigen, in supernatants of immune lymphocytes stimulated with specific antigen, and after a secondary challenge with viable rickettsiae. mice administered various doses of irradiated whole-organism antigen 28 days after immunization showed circulating levels of interferon which peaked 4 h after i ...19846317573
effect of antibody on entry of rickettsia tsutsugamushi into polymorphonuclear leukocyte cytoplasm.the effects of rickettsial antibodies on the entry of rickettsia tsutsugamushi, gilliam strain, into guinea pig polymorphonuclear leukocyte cytoplasm were studied by electron microscopy. immunoglobulin g fractions were obtained from four rabbit antisera against: yolk sac-propagated rickettsiae; baby hamster kidney cell (bhk-21)-propagated rickettsiae; formaldehyde-fixed, bhk-21 cell-propagated rickettsiae; and glutaraldehyde-fixed, bhk-21 cell-propagated rickettsiae. a fuzzy coating was observed ...19836403463
growth pattern of rickettsia tsutsugamushi in irradiated l cells.irradiated l cells infected with rickettsia tsutsugamushi were studied under the electron microscope to define the morphological growth pattern of the organism. for 2 days after inoculation, no rickettsiae were found either extra- or intracellularly; after 2 days multiple rickettsiae appeared within the host cells without morphological evidence of their entry. these observations showed that the rickettsiae within the cell were assembled in situ by segregation of portions of the granular cytoplas ...19836404890
assembly of rickettsia tsutsugamushi progeny in irradiated l cells.in the assembly of rickettsia tsutsugamushi progeny in irradiated l cells, nascent forms first appear as undemarcated foci in the host cell granular cytoplasm, in which electron-lucent filamentous (f) and electron-dense granular (g) areas differentiate. morphological observations indicated that the assembly involves formation of a filamentous network in the f area, manufacture of rickettsial ribosomes in the g area, and formation of mildly electron-dense fuzzy zones, along which a double membran ...19836404892
development of antibody to rickettsia tsutsugamushi in soldiers in malaysia.malaysian, british and new zealand soldiers were tested for evidence of infection with rickettsia tsutsugamushi after several weeks' exposure to the infection during field exercises in malaysia. 39 (5.0%) of 787 british and new zealand soldiers developed immunofluorescent antibody (ifa) to r. tsutsugamushi to a titre of 1:50 and two (0.3%) to a titre of 1:100. 11 (1.5%) of 751 malaysian soldiers also developed low titres less than or equal to 1:100. these low antibody levels were not correlated ...19836408770

gamma-irradiated scrub typhus immunogens: analysis for residual, replicating rickettsiae.scrub typhus immunogens that received inadequate gamma radiation contained residual, viable rickettsiae. the presence of these organisms in the host was masked by the rapid immune response elicited by the large number of inactivated rickettsiae. transfer of homogenized spleen cells from immunized mice to normal syngeneic recipients provided a sensitive technique for the detection of these viable, replicating organisms.19806769819
the longevity of antibody to rickettsia tsutsugamushi in patients with confirmed scrub typhus.serological surveillance for up to two years of 114 patients with laboratory confirmed scrub typhus showed that antibody to rickettsia tsutsugamushi as demonstrated by the indirect fluorescent antibody test is short-lived. the mean reversion time from mean peak titre (1:499) was 48.9 weeks and the calculated annual reversion rate to a titre less than 1:50 was 61%. this can be used to estimate attack rates based on point prevalence of antibody. the relationship between antibody prevalence and att ...19806770503
