Hematogenously disseminated Orientia tsutsugamushi-infected murine model of scrub typhus [corrected]. [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2014 Orientia tsutsugamushi, the etiologic agent of scrub typhus, is a mite-borne rickettsia transmitted by the parasitic larval stage of trombiculid mites. Approximately one-third of the world's population is at risk of infection with Orientia tsutsugamushi,

Shotgun proteomics of Orientia tsutsugamushi [PDF]
Clinical Microbiology and Infection, 2009 Orientia tsutsugamushi is one of the obligate intracellular bacteria, and causes Tsutsugamushi disease (scrub typhus). The whole genome sequence of Boryong strain revealed some characteristics of this bacterium, such as a type IV secretion system, many histidine kinases, SpoT, Tra, and ankyrin repeatand tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR)-containing ...

Approaches to vaccines against Orientia tsutsugamushi [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2013 Scrub typhus is a severe mite-borne infection caused by Orientia tsutsugamushi, an obligately intracellular bacterium closely related to Rickettsia. The disease explains a substantial proportion of acute undifferentiated febrile cases that require hospitalization in rural areas of Asia, the North of Australia, and many islands of the Pacific Ocean ...

Symbiosis in an overlooked microcosm: a systematic review of the bacterial flora of mites [PDF]
, 2015 A dataset of bacterial diversity found in mites was compiled from 193 publications (from 1964 to January 2015). A total of 143 mite species belonging to the 3 orders (Mesostigmata, Sarcoptiformes and Trombidiformes) were recorded and found to be ...
