| Background | Neorickettsia sennetsu (strain Miyayama) is an intracellular vector-borne pathogen that causes human ehrlichiosis. Unknown trematodes are suspected to be the vector and reservoir of N.sennetsu. N.sennetsu is the causative agent of sennetsu ehrlichiosis, an infectious mononuclear-like disease with fever, fatigue, general malaise and lymphadenopathy. It replicates in monocytes/macrophages. The genome of Neorickettsia sennetsu is made up of a single chromosome. (EBI Integr8) |
