Detection of Orientia sp. DNA in rodents from Asia, West Africa and Europe [PDF]
Parasites & Vectors, 2015 Orientia bacterium is the agent of the scrub typhus, a seriously neglected life-threatening disease in Asia. Here, we report the detection of DNA of Orientia in rodents from Europe and Africa. These findings have important implications for public health.

Orientia tsutsugamushi Modulates RIPK3 Cellular Levels but Does Not Inhibit Necroptosis [PDF]
PathogensScrub typhus is an emerging chigger-borne disease caused by the obligate intracellular bacterium Orientia tsutsugamushi. Necroptosis is a form of programmed cell death (PCD) mediated by RIPK3 (serine/threonine kinase receptor interacting protein 3) and ...

Orientia tsutsugamushi modulates p53, the cell cycle, and genotoxicity to maintain its intracellular niche [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsInfections by intracellular pathogens often cause insult to host cell DNA, which stimulates responses that ultimately eliminate the damaged cell and hence the microbial niche.
