Abstract excerpt
Restriction endonuclease fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) were used to characterize the genotypic diversity of 7 strains of Rickettsia conorii from South Africa, Ethiopia, Morocco, India and Russia. The strains of R. conorii were divided into four genotypes by Rsa I or Pst I endonuclease digestion of PCR-amplified rickettsial DNA using primers derived from the R....
