Dissecting the developmental life cycle and developing genetic tools for understanding the biology of Orientia tsutsugamushi

2021-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Orientia tsutsugamushi is an obligate intracellular bacterium that is spread by mites and causes a life-threatening human disease, scrub typhus. This disease affects at least one million people annually with a high risk of mortality if not treated promptly. Orientia is poorly understood compared to many other pathogens due to genetic intractability. This bacterium only propagates and replicates within host cells....
