Expression of rOmpA and rOmpB protein in Rickettsia massiliae during the Rhipicephalus turanicus life cycle.
Rhipicephalus turanicus tick colony infected in the laboratory with Rickettsia massiliae showed that the rickettsia is transovarially and transdatially tramsmitted. The expression of rOmpB did not change with temperature or the stages of the tick life cycle. In contrast, rOmpA was less expressed during the larval stage.
