Targeted sequence capture of <i>Orientia tsutsugamushi</i> DNA from chiggers and humans
2021-01-08
Abstract excerpt
Scrub typhus is a febrile disease caused by Orientia tsutsugamushi , transmitted by larval stage Trombiculid mites (chiggers), whose primary hosts are small mammals. The phylogenomics of O. tsutsugamushi in chiggers, small mammals and humans remains poorly understood. To combat the limitations imposed by the low relative quantities of pathogen DNA in typical O. tsutsugamushi clinical and ecological samples, alo...
