While studying rickettsial infections in Peru, we detected Rickettsia asembonensis in fleas from domestic animals. We characterized 5 complete genomic regions (17kDa, gltA, ompA, ompB, and sca4) and conducted multilocus sequence typing and phylogenetic analyses. The molecular isolate from Peru is distinct from the original R. asembonensis strain from Kenya.
在秘鲁研究立克次体感染时,我们从家畜身上的跳蚤中检测到了阿斯本立克次体。我们对 5 个完整的基因组区域(17kDa、gltA、ompA、ompB 和 sca4)进行了特征描述,并进行了多位点序列分型和系统发育分析。来自秘鲁的分子分离株与来自肯尼亚的原始阿斯本立克次体菌株不同。
