Historically, ehrlichioses were tick-borne diseases of veterinary
medical importance and are now important emerging infectious diseases
in humans. p28s are encoded by multigene families with ORFs tandemly
arranged with intergenic spaces of variable lengths. We reported
initial sequencing of the Ehrlichia muris p28 locus. A model of
persistent infection was described and provided tools for study of
persistent ehrlichial infection. We completed the sequence of the E.
muris p28 locus and examined mRNA expression.
