Ehrlichia effector TRP120 manipulates bacteremia to facilitate tick acquisition

ABSTRACTEhrlichia species are obligatory intracellular bacteria that cause a potentially fatal disease, human ehrlichiosis. The biomolecular mechanisms of tick acquisition of Ehrlichia and transmission between ticks and mammals are poorly understood. Ehrlichia japonica infection of mice recapitulate...
