Tick-borne pathogens in Finland: comparison of Ixodes ricinus and I. persulcatus in sympatric and parapatric areas [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors, 2018
Background Almost 3500 tick samples, originally collected via a nationwide citizen science campaign in 2015, were screened to reveal the prevalence and distribution of a wide spectrum of established and putative tick-borne pathogens vectored by Ixodes ...

Close geographic association of human neoehrlichiosis and tick populations carrying "Candidatus Neoehrlichia mikurensis" in eastern Switzerland. [PDF]

J Clin Microbiol, 2013
ABSTRACT Neoehrlichiosis caused by “ Candidatus Neoehrlichia mikurensis” is an emerging zoonotic disease. In total, six patients have been described in Europe, with the first case detected in 2007. In addition, seven patients from China were described in a report published in October 2012.

Ticks From Mink and Their Associated Microorganisms in Spain. [PDF]

Transbound Emerg Dis
Wildlife is an important source of emerging zoonotic agents, including tick‐borne ones. Wild carnivores such as mink are commonly parasitized by ticks, which are vectors and reservoirs of zoonotic diseases. Besides the importance of these arthropods as potential sources of diseases in mink, and the role of these mammals as reservoirs of infectious ...

Candidatus Neoehrlichia mikurensis and Anaplasma phagocytophilum in natural rodent and tick communities in Southern Hungary

Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases, 2015
The aim of this study was to investigate the natural cycle of the new human pathogenic bacteria Candidatus Neoehrlichia mikurensis and Anaplasma phagocytophilum in Southern Hungary. We collected rodents with live-traps (2010-2013) and questing ticks with flagging in 2012.

Expanding the wildlife reservoir landscape: A high-throughput molecular surveillance study of zoonotic pathogens in Korean water deer [PDF]

One Health
The movement of wildlife across geographic boundaries increasingly drives the emergence and dissemination of transboundary zoonotic diseases. Here, we applied the TaqMan Array Card (TAC) platform for the first time in wildlife disease surveillance ...

Asymptomatic "Candidatus Neoehrlichia mikurensis" infections in immunocompetent humans. [PDF]

J Clin Microbiol, 2014
ABSTRACT In Europe, human infections with “ Candidatus Neoehrlichia mikurensis” have mainly been restricted to immunocompromised patients. We report here the first cases of asymptomatic “ Ca . Neoehrlichia mikurensis” infection in immunocompetent humans (5/316 [1.6%] were infected).

Multilocus Sequence Analysis of Clinical "Candidatus Neoehrlichia mikurensis" Strains from Europe. [PDF]

J Clin Microbiol, 2015
ABSTRACT “ Candidatus Neoehrlichia mikurensis” is the tick-borne agent of neoehrlichiosis, an infectious disease that primarily affects immunocompromised patients. So far, the genetic variability of “ Ca . Neoehrlichia” has been studied only by comparing 16S rRNA genes and

Ad hoc method for the assessment of animal diseases caused by bacteria resistant to antimicrobials

EFSA Journal, Volume 19, Issue 6, June 2021., 2021
Abstract The European Commission requested EFSA assess antimicrobial‐resistant bacteria responsible for animal transmissible diseases, with a view to listing such pathogens for European Union action. This Scientific Opinion addresses the ad hoc method developed: (i) to give a global state of play as regards resistant animal pathogens that cause ...
