In silico characterization of hypothetical proteins from Orientia tsutsugamushi str. Karp uncovers virulence genes
Scrub typhus also known as bush typhus is a disease with symptoms similar to Chikungunya infection. It is caused by a gram-negative bacterium Orientia tsutsugamushi which resides in its vertebrate host, Mites. The genome of Orientia tsutsugamushi str. Karp encodes for 1,563 proteins, of which 344 ar...
