Complete Genome Sequence of Rickettsia asiatica Strain Maytaro1284, a Member of Spotted Fever Group Rickettsiae Isolated from an Ixodes ovatus Tick in Japan

Abstract

This is the first report of the complete genome sequence of Rickettsia asiatica strain Maytaro1284, isolated from an Ixodes ovatus tick in Japan. The genome contains a 1,344,324-bp circular chromosome and one plasmid of 74,761 bp. There was no outer membrane protein A ( ompA ) gene encoded in the genome.
