| proteinic and genomic identification of spotted fever group rickettsiae isolated in the former ussr. | sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (sds-page), restriction fragment length polymorphism of polymerase chain reaction-amplified genes (rflp-pcr), and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (pfge) were used to identify 25 isolates of spotted fever group rickettsia collected in the former ussr. six rickettsia akari isolates which were identical to the mk reference strain from the american type culture collection were found. also, 14 isolates were found to be rickettsia sibirica and ... | 1993 | 7902843 |
| astrakhan fever rickettsiae: antigenic and genotypic analysis of isolates obtained from human and rhipicephalus pumilio ticks. | two spotted fever group rickettsia strains, a-108 and a-167, were isolated from the hemolymph of rhipicephalus pumilio ticks collected in the astrakhan region of russia, which is area endemic for astrakhan fever. these tick isolates were compared with a strain isolated from a patient suffering from astrakhan fever and with reference spotted fever group rickettsiae strains. new tick isolates and the human strain were identical in their serologic, antigenic, and genetic characteristics by several ... | 1994 | 7985764 |
