| rickettsia tamurae sp. nov., isolated from amblyomma testudinarium ticks. | rickettsia sp. strain at-1(t) was isolated from amblyomma testudinarium ticks in japan in 1993. comparative analysis of sequences obtained from 16s rrna, glta, ompa, ompb and sca4 gene fragments demonstrated those from at-1(t) to be markedly different from those of other members of the spotted fever group. using mouse serotyping, it was also observed that rickettsia sp. strain at-1(t) was different from other rickettsia species with validly published names. such genotypic and phenotypic characte ... | 2006 | 16825648 |
| genome sequence of rickettsia tamurae, a recently detected human pathogen in japan. | 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. | 2014 | 25189579 |
| detection 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 rickettsia tamurae at-1 dna from the tick amblyomma testudinarium and from wild boar skins where ticks ... | 2013 | 23075922 |
| 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. | 2011 | 21503163 |
