Schematic representation of E. chaffeensis transposon mutants assessed to identify genes important for the pathogen’s in vivo growth. The method involves recovering ISE6 culture-derived E. chaffeensis organisms, subjecting them to transposon mutagenesis to identify mutants in cultures resistant to antibiotic clearance, infecting the canine host, and acquisition feeding assessment of A. americanum ticks.
