Analysis of complete genome sequence of Neorickettsia risticii: causative agent of Potomac horse fever (2009)

Lin, Mingqun, Zhang, Chunbin, Gibson, Kathryn, Rikihisa, Yasuko

Neorickettsia risticii is an obligate intracellular bacterium of the trematodes and mammals. Horses develop Potomac horse fever (PHF) when they ingest aquatic insects containing encysted N....
