HAMAP: Rickettsia bellii (strain OSU 85-389) complete proteome
General information

Species:  Rickettsia bellii (strain OSU 85-389)
Species code: RICB8
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Alphaproteobacteria; Rickettsiales; Rickettsiaceae; Rickettsieae; Rickettsia (TaxID: 391896) [NEWT/ NCBI]
Description: Rickettsia bellii is the most common rickettsia found in ticks in America, in which it is transovarially transmitted. It has been found in various hard ticks including species of Dermacentor and Amblyomma. It is also the sole rickettsia found in both soft and hard ticks, therefore exhibiting the largest arthropod host range among known rickettsiae. The host of Rickettsia bellii (strain OSU 85-389) is the Dermacentor variabilis tick.
