Analysis of p51 , groESL , and the Major Antigen P51 in Various Species of Neorickettsia , an Obligatory Intracellular Bacterium That Infects Trematodes and Mammals

Abstract
The p51 gene that encodes the major antigenic 51-kDa protein in Neorickettsia risticii was identified in strains of Neorickettsia sennetsu and the Stellantchasmus falcatus agent but not in Neorickettsia helminthoeca , suggesting that p51 -based diagnosis would be useful to distinguish among them. groESL sequencing results delineated the phylogenic relationships among Neorickettsia spp.
