Abstract excerpt

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and restriction endonuclease fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis were used to characterize the genotypic diversity of three isolates of spotted fever group (SFG) rickettsiae isolated from ticks in China. A primer pair designed from DNA sequence encoding 19...
