Torix Rickettsia : aspects of diversity, host range and symbiont-host interaction

2021-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Rickettsia bacteria have traditionally been considered as the aetiologic agent of deadly arthropod-borne diseases in humans and livestock. However, more recent studies have discovered Rickettsia as non-vertebrate pathogens that are actually important to invertebrate evolution as symbionts. Recently, Rickettsia in the 'torix' clade were described from glossiphoniid leeches. This clade has since been observed to inf...
