Abstract

Rickettsia australis strain Phillips(T) was isolated in Queensland, Australia, in 1950. It is the tick-borne agent of Queensland tick typhus, a disease endemic in Australia. The 1.29-Mb genome sequence of this bacterium is highly similar to that of Rickettsia akari but contains two plasmids.
