Query: NC_017056:804416 Rickettsia prowazekii str. BuV67-CWPP chromosome, complete genome Lineage: Rickettsia prowazekii; Rickettsia; Rickettsiaceae; Rickettsiales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria General Information: This species is the causal agent of typhus. The bacteria are transmitted via an insect, usually a tick, to a host organism, in this case humans, where they target endothelial cells and sometimes macrophages. They attach via an adhesin, rickettsial outer membrane protein A, and are internalized where they persist as cytoplasmically free organisms. Transovarial transmission (from mother to offspring) occurs in the invertebrate host.

General Information: This strain was isolated from a human clinical sample. Bacterial pathogens of cattle that cause zoonotic infections in humans. This organism is a bacterial pathogen of cattle. This organism colonizes in the kidney and reproductive tracts of infected animals. There is also a risk of zoonotic infections in humans, especially those who work with cattle.
