| genetic classification of "rickettsia heilongjiangii" and "rickettsia hulinii," two chinese spotted fever group rickettsiae. | to determine the phylogenetic position of two new rickettsial strains isolated from ticks in china, 16s ribosomal dna, glta, and ompa (apart from the tandem repeat units) genes were amplified by pcr and sequenced. the phylogenetic relationships between these strains and other rickettsiae were inferred from the comparison of sequences of the three genes by the parsimony, neighbor-joining, and maximum-likelihood methods. the results demonstrated that the 054 strain, a rickettsia pathogenic in huma ... | 2000 | 10970415 |
| [detection of rickettsia hulinii in ticks of the haemaphysalis concinna species in russia]. | the presence of rickettsia hulinii was detected in ticks of the haemaphysalis concinna species in the asiatic part of russia. it was the first detection of these rickettsiae outside the territory of the chinese people's republic. this tick is spread over a broken area and may occur in different regions of eurasia. at present at least 3 rickettsial species of the tick-borne spotted fever group were found in ixodes ticks on the territory of eastern siberia: r. sibirica, known to be the etiological ... | 2004 | 15188554 |
| detection of spotted fever group rickettsia in haemaphysalis longicornis in hebei province, china. | abstract dna samples from 737 ticks pools, representing 6850 haemaphysalis longicornis and 51 dermacentor nuttalli ticks collected from hebei province, china, were analyzed by pcr for the presence of spotted fever group rickettsia. there were 50 (6.9%) of 724 h. longicornis ticks pools found positive, but no positive samples found in 13 d. nuttalli. sequence analysis of the partial outer membrane protein a (ompa) genes from the ten positive samples showed 98% identity, but different from the hom ... | 2011 | 21506802 |
