Microscopic observation of infected cell cultures indicated this strain had a morphology and intracellular location typical of Rickettsia species. Phylogenetic analysis of this strain based firstly on multi-locus sequence analysis and subsequently on whole genome analysis demonstrated that AUS118(T) was most closely related to, but divergent from Rickettsia japonica and Rickettsia heilongjiangensis. We therefore propose the creation of a novel species, Rickettsia fournieri sp. nov, with the type strain AUS118(T) (DSM 28985 and CSUR R501). specialized Rickettsia fournieri new species Argas lagenoplastis Ixodida Australia AUSTRALIE 052 68 12 3781-3784 2018 1466-5026 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/PAR00018752 10.1099/ijsem.0.003057 1466-5026 [F B010074668] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/PAR00018752 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/intranet/publi/depot/2019-02-12/010074668.pdf Accès réservé (Intranet de l'IRD) IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2019-02-04 2023-07-11 PAR00018752 fre
