Cultivation of the causative agent of human neoehrlichiosis from clinical isolates identifies vascular endothelium as a target of infection [PDF]
Candidatus (Ca.) Neoehrlichia mikurensis is the cause of neoehrlichiosis, an emerging tick-borne infectious disease characterized by fever and vascular events.

Neoehrlichia mikurensis is uncommon in rheumatological patients receiving tumour necrosis factor inhibitors and in blood donors: a retrospective cohort study [PDF]
Introduction Neoehrlichia mikurensis is a tick-borne bacterium that primarily causes disease in immunocompromised patients. The bacterium has been detected in ticks throughout Europe, with a 0%–25% prevalence. N.

Detection and genetic diversity of Neoehrlichia mikurensis in rodents from central and southern Shanxi, China [PDF]
Neoehrlichia mikurensis is vector-borne gram-negative intracellular bacteria that has a wide range of hosts, and are recognized as emerging human pathogens. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and genetic characteristics of N.

Molecular Surveillance of Neoehrlichia mikurensis and Anaplasma phagocytophilum in Ticks from Urbanized Areas of Lithuania [PDF]
Neoehrlichia mikurensis and Anaplasma phagocytophilum, both members of the Anaplasmataceae family, are pathogens that can cause diseases in animals and humans. Ixodid ticks are the primary vectors for both species.

Infection with Neoehrlichia mikurensis promotes the development of malignant B‐cell lymphomas
Summary The tick‐borne pathogen Neoehrlichia (N.) mikurensis is implicated in persistent infection of the vascular endothelium. B cells are crucial for the host defence to this infection. Chronic stimulation of B cells may result in B‐cell transformation and lymphoma. Five patients with malignant B‐cell lymphoma and concomitant N.

Detection of Candidatus Neoehrlichia mikurensis and Ehrlichia muris in Estonian ticks
So far neglected bacteria like Candidatud Neoehrlichia mikurensis and Ehrlichia muris-like agents get increased attention in the recent past. Ixodid ticks were demonstrated to harbor both of these pathogens. Estonia is populated by two medically important tick species, I. ricinus and I. persulcatus. In this study the presence of E. muris and Candidatus

Detection of Tick-Borne Microorganisms, Anaplasmataceae and Piroplasmida, in Sorex spp. in Hokkaido, Japan [PDF]
The habitats of shrews substantially overlap with those of rodents, which are well known as reservoirs for many tick-borne diseases. However, the ecological role of shrews (Mammalia: Eulipotyphla: Soricidae) remains poorly understood.

Detection of Neoehrlichia mikurensis in 11 persons who attribute their persistent health complaints to a tick-borne disease [PDF]
Background: Neoehrlichia mikurensis infections can cause symptomatic disease, particular among immunosuppressed persons. Long-lasting asymptomatic carriage of N. mikurensis may be common in endemic areas. This study explores possible associations between
