Molecular Epidemiology and Genetic Diversity of Orientia tsutsugamushi From Patients and Small Mammals in Xiangyun County, Yunnan Province, China. [PDF]

Vet Med Sci
Scrub typhus is caused by Orientia tsutsugamushi (OT). In this study, the detection rates of OT in patients and small mammals were 28.13% (18/64) and 13.98% (13/93), respectively. Nine full‐length 56‐kDa TSA genes were identified, comprising four distinct genotypes: Karp‐like (n = 3), Kato‐like (n = 3), Gilliam (n = 2), and TA763 (n = 1). Recombination
