| [studies on tsutsugamushi disease in gifu prefecture. 4. survey results in ena and takayama city, and the summary of the studies in the prefecture]. | investigations of trombiculid mites and rickettsia tsutsugamushi in wild rodents were made in ena (nov. 1988) and takayama (may 1989) city. in the former area where no patient has been reported so far, leptotrombidium pallidum (63.9%) was most predominant and no l. scutellare was found. a karp-related rickettsia (11.1%) was isolated from wild rodents and 30% of them had antibody to r. tsutsugamushi (anti-karp was prominent). the latter area where patients were reported in spring as well as in au ... | 1991 | 1906079 |
| transmission of rickettsia tsutsugamushi strains among humans, wild rodents, and trombiculid mites in an area of japan in which tsutsugamushi disease is newly endemic. | thirty-two newly isolated strains of rickettsia tsutsugamushi, 14 from patients with tsutsugamushi disease, 12 from wild rodents, and 6 from trombiculid mites parasitizing rodents in gifu prefecture, japan, were examined for reactivities to 12 monoclonal antibodies by an indirect fluorescent-antibody test to classify their antigenicities. all of the isolates could be classified into one of six groups (kn-1, kn-2, kn-3, gj-1, r158, and r161) according to their reactivities to the monoclonal antib ... | 1994 | 7852572 |
| [analysis of prevalent orientia tsutsugamushi in aichi prefecture]. | orientia tsutsugamushi was isolated from one of 8 patients' sera in aichi prefecture, and was identified to have the same antigenicity with the kn-2 strain (kn-2 like) based on the reactivity with 13 types of strain-specific or cross-reactive monoclonal antibodies to karp, gilliam, and kato strains. four isolates from 4 unfed larvae and adult of leptotrombidium pallidum were also classified as the kn-3 like strains. using indirect immunofluorescence, sera from 20 patients with tsutsugamushi dise ... | 1999 | 10655679 |
