Genomics of Rickettsiaceae: An Update [PDF]
Recent advancements in genomes sequencing of members of Rickettsiaceae family have led to set a new landmark in the study of these microorganisms. Genomic analyses of Rickettsia and Orientia reveal a history of genome reduction because of the interaction

Diagnosis of severe scrub typhus infection by next-generation sequencing:a case report
Background Scrub typhus is an acute febrile illness, which was caused by Orientia tsutsugamushi and transmitted through the bite of chiggers. The diagnosis of scrub typhus could be missed diagnosis due to the absence of the pathognomonic eschar.

Estimating scrub typhus and murine typhus incidence among adolescents and adults in Yangon, Myanmar
Abstract Objectives Rickettsioses are frequent causes of treatable febrile illness in Southeast Asia, including Myanmar. Accurate estimates of the incidence of rickettsioses are needed to inform investments in disease prevention and control. We sought to estimate the incidence of rickettsioses among adults and adolescents by combining sentinel hospital

THE EPIDEMIOLOGY OF SCRUB TYPHUS ALL OVER THE WORLD: A SYSTEMATIC LITERATURE REVIEW [PDF]
Scrub typhus, a bacterial infection caused by Orientia tsutsugamushi, is cumulatively recognized as an important cause of pyrexia in Asia, with an estimated one million infections occurring per year. Scrub typhus is a natural focus disease transmitted to

Abstract Background Orientia tsutsugamushi, the causative agent of scrub typhus, is increasingly recognised for its neurological complications. Among these, movement and gait disorders are poorly understood. We systematically examined their clinical spectrum and explored underlying mechanisms through in‐silico protein–protein interaction modelling ...

The Whole-genome Sequencing of the Obligate Intracellular Bacterium Orientia tsutsugamushi Revealed Massive Gene Amplification During Reductive Genome Evolution [PDF]
Scrub typhus (‘Tsutsugamushi’ disease in Japanese) is a mite-borne infectious disease. The causative agent is Orientia tsutsugamushi, an obligate intracellular bacterium belonging to the family Rickettsiaceae of the subdivision alpha-Proteobacteria.
