Abstract excerpt

Scrub typhus, caused by Orientia tsutsugamushi, is a clinically important vector-borne disease in the Asia-Pacific region. This study aimed to detect O. tsutsugamushi DNA in human serum samples collected during a scrub typhus outbreak in Vellore and adjacent districts of Tamil Nadu, India, and to genotype the pathogen based on the tsa56 gene sequence. A total of 40 serum samples were analyzed, including nine IgM...
