Francisella tularensis in Rodents, China
نویسندگان
چکیده
A total of 420 rodents in China were examined for Francisella tularensis by polymerase chain reaction. The infection rates were 4.76% in total, and 11.65%, 10.00%, 6.56%, 1.77%, and 0% in Jilin, Xinjiang, Heilongjiang, Inner Mongolia, and Zhejiang, respectively. Sequence analysis showed that all the detected agents belonged to F. tularensis subsp. holarctica.

Draft Genome Sequence of Francisella tularensis Strain 410108 from Tibet, China
Francisella tularensis is the etiological agent of the potentially fatal disease tularemia. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of a virulent human isolate from Tibet, China in 1962, F. tularensis strain 410108, an intermediate-genotype strain of F. tularensis subsp. holarctica between biovar japonica and non-japonica strains in the world.
متن کاملDiversity of Francisella tularensis Subsp. holarctica Lineages, China
We analyzed 10 isolates of Francisella tularensis subspecies holarctica from China and assigned them to known clades by using canonical single-nucleotide polymorphisms. We found 4 diverse subtypes, including 3 from the most basal lineage, biovar japonica. This result indicates unprecedented levels of diversity from a single region and suggests new models for emergence.

متن کاملDoes Type I Interferon Limit Protective Neutrophil Responses during Pulmonary Francisella Tularensis Infection?
FRANCISELLA TULARENSIS Host–microorganism co-existence has enabled many pathogens to develop mechanisms to evade the immune system. One prime example is Francisella tularensis. This Gram-negative bacterium infects various wild animals such as rodents and rabbits, but also exists in water and soil. In rare cases, humans acquire F. tularensis infections through inhalation of particles from infect...
