Cytokine responses of immunosuppressed and immunocompetent patients with Neoehrlichia mikurensis infection. [PDF]
Med Microbiol Immunol, 2022 Abstract Purpose The tick-borne bacterium Neoehrlichia mikurensis causes the infectious disease neoehrlichiosis in humans. Vascular endothelium is one of the target cells of the infection. Neoehrlichiosis patients with compromised B cell immunity present with more severe inflammation than immunocompetent patients.

Neoehrlichia mikurensis Causing Thrombosis and Relapsing Fever in a Lymphoma Patient Receiving Rituximab. [PDF]
Microorganisms, 2021 Neoehrlichia (N.) mikurensis, an intracellular tick-borne bacterium not detected by routine blood culture, is prevalent in ticks in Scandinavia, Central Europe and Northern Asia, and may cause long-standing fever, nightly sweats, migrating pain, skin rashes and thromboembolism, especially in patients treated with rituximab.

Coexistence of Borrelia spp. with different tick-borne pathogens in Ixodes ricinus ticks removed from humans in Poland [PDF]
Scientific ReportsIxodes ricinus tick is a primary vector of Borrelia spirochetes and various tick-borne pathogens in Europe. Multi-species infections are common among ticks, however, the mechanism by which Borrelia spp.

Putative morphology of Neoehrlichia mikurensis in salivary glands of Ixodes ricinus. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2020 AbstractNeoehrlichia mikurensis is an emerging tick-borne intracellular pathogen causing neoehrlichiosis. Its putative morphology was described in mammalian, but not in tick cells. In this study, we aim to show the presumptive morphology of N. mikurensis in salivary glands of engorged females of Ixodes ricinus.

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).

Pathogens in ticks collected from dogs in Berlin/Brandenburg, Germany [PDF]
, 2014 BackgroundTick-borne diseases are a major health risk for humans and dogs. In addition to collection and analysis of questing ticks, analysis of host- associated ticks for the presence of pathogens is a valuable method to gain insight into transmission ...

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023 Recently, increasing attention has been posed on the role of migrating birds in the spread of ticks and indirectly of tick‐borne pathogens (TBPs). Despite, Italy is considered a bridge between continental Europe and North Africa and a necessary path to connect Mediterranean countries, few studies have been conducted on ticks collected from birds ...

Infections With the Tick-Borne Bacterium "Candidatus Neoehrlichia mikurensis” Mimic Noninfectious Conditions in Patients With B Cell Malignancies or Autoimmune Diseases [PDF]
, 2016 We present a comprehensive study of a new infectious disease in immune compromised patients, neoehrlichiosis. The clinical picture of the disease can be misleading because the symptoms may be misinterpreted to be a worsening of the underlying ...
