High rates of homologous recombination in the mite endosymbiont and opportunistic human pathogen Orientia tsutsugamushi
Orientia tsutsugamushi is an intracellular alpha-proteobacterium which resides in trombiculid mites, and is the causative agent of scrub typhus in East Asia. The genome sequence of this species has revealed an unprecedented number of repeat sequences, most notably of the genes encoding the conjugati...
