Detection of murine typhus infection in fleas by using the polymerase chain reaction

1 Mar 1990

Abstract excerpt

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification of DNA was used to detect the etiologic agent of murine typhus, Rickettsia typhi, in experimentally infected adult fleas. A primer pair derived from the 17-kilodalton antigen sequence of typhus and spotted fever group rickettsiae was used to amplify a 434-base-pair (bp) fragment of the genome of the murine typhus rickettsiae. The amplified 17-kilodalton protein...
