Possible biased virulence attenuation in the Senegal strain of <i>Ehrlichia ruminantium</i> by <i>ntrX</i> gene conversion from an inverted segmental duplication

2020-11-27

Abstract excerpt

Ehrlichia ruminantium is a tick-borne intracellular pathogen of ruminants that causes heartwater, a disease present in Sub-saharan Africa, islands in the Indian Ocean and the Caribbean, inducing significant economic losses. At present, three avirulent strains of E. ruminantium (Gardel, Welgevonden and Senegal isolates) have been produced by a process of serial passaging in mammalian cells in vitro , but unfortun...
