Active Escape of Orientia tsutsugamushi from Cellular Autophagy [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 2013 ABSTRACT Orientia tsutsugamushi , the causative agent of scrub typhus, is an obligate intracellular pathogen. After entry into host cells, the bacterium rapidly escapes from the endosomal pathway and replicates in the cytosol of eukaryotic host cells. Here we show that O.

Orientia tsutsugamushi in Chiggers and Small Mammals in Laos
Vector-Borne and Zoonotic Diseases, 2022 Background: Scrub typhus is a leading cause of febrile illness in Laos and accounts for a high burden of disease. There have been no previous studies on the causative agent, Orientia tsutsugamushi, in vector mites ("chiggers") or their small mammal hosts in Laos. Materials and Methods: Small mammals and free-living chiggers were trapped in districts of
