ABSTRACT
Over 1,200 isolations of R. tsutsugamushi were obtained over 7 generations of L. (L.) arenicola and no reproducible differences in virulence or antigenic markers could be detected among these isolations. The F8 generation yielded rickettsia with the same antigenic makeup and virulence properties as the original female parent mite. When these isolates were inoculated into mice they elicited the same predominant antibody specificities, i.e. they all produced antibody which reacted with the TA 763 and Karp strains. These were the same as the major antigens detected by direct fluorescent antibody staining of the isolates.
