Figure 3
BootScan analysis of 56-kDa TSA genes of Taiwan Gilliam-variant (Taitung-5) strain and other reference O. tsutsugamushi strains.
TSA, type-specific antigen. RFLP: tsu-a and tsu-b primer position, 263–430 (Taitung-5 nucleotides 263 to nucleotide 430); variable domain I (VD-I) position, 313–396 (Taitung-5 nucleotides 313 to nucleotide 396); VD-II position, 451–529 (Taitung-5 nucleotides 451 to nucleotide 516); VD-III position, 611–705 (Taitung-5 nucleotides 592 to nucleotide 675); VD-IV position, 1196–1321 (Taitung-5 nucleotides 1153 to nucleotide 1260).
