Functional and Immunological Relevance of Anaplasma marginale Major Surface Protein 1a Sequence and Structural Analysis. [PDF]

, 2013
Bovine anaplasmosis is caused by cattle infection with the tick-borne bacterium, Anaplasma marginale. The major surface protein 1a (MSP1a) has been used as a genetic marker for identifying A.

Extensive genetic diversity of Rickettsiales bacteria in multiple mosquito species [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2016
AbstractRickettsiales are important zoonotic pathogens, causing severe disease in humans globally. Although mosquitoes are an important vector for diverse pathogens, with the exception of members of the genusWolbachialittle is known about their role in the transmission of Rickettsiales.

Ehrlichia chaffeensis proteomic profiling reveals distinct expression patterns of infectious and replicating forms

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology
Ehrlichia chaffeensis is a tick-transmitted rickettsial pathogen responsible for causing human monocytic ehrlichiosis (HME). The pathogen’s developmental cycle includes infectious dense-core cells (DCs) and non-infectious replicating cells (RCs ...

Environmental Metagenomic Assemblies Reveal Seven New Highly Divergent Chlamydial Lineages and Hallmarks of a Conserved Intracellular Lifestyle

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
The Chlamydiae phylum exclusively encompasses bacteria sharing a similar obligate intracellular life cycle. Existing 16S rDNA data support a high diversity within the phylum, however genomic data remain scarce owing to the difficulty in isolating strains

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 ...

A novel extracellular gut symbiont in the marine worm Priapulus caudatus (Priapulida) reveals an alphaproteobacterial symbiont clade of the Ecdysozoa

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016
Priapulus caudatus (phylum Priapulida) is a benthic marine predatory worm with a cosmopolitan distribution. In its digestive tract we detected symbiotic bacteria that were consistently present in specimens collected over eight years from three sites at ...

Comparative susceptibility of mosquito populations in North Queensland, Australia to oral infection with dengue virus. [PDF]

, 2014
Dengue is the most prevalent arthropod-borne virus, with at least 40% of the world's population at risk of infection each year. In Australia, dengue is not endemic, but viremic travelers trigger outbreaks involving hundreds of cases.

Phylogenomics Reveals a DiverseRickettsialesType IV Secretion System [PDF]

Infection and Immunity, 2010
ABSTRACTWith an obligate intracellular lifestyle,Alphaproteobacteriaof the orderRickettsialeshave inextricably coevolved with their various eukaryotic hosts, resulting in small, reductive genomes and strict dependency on host resources. Unsurprisingly, large portions ofRickettsialesgenomes encode proteins involved in transport and secretion.
