Wide Distribution and Genetic Diversity of “Candidatus Neoehrlichia mikurensis” in Rodents from China [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2013
ABSTRACT “ Candidatus Neoehrlichia mikurensis” was detected by PCR in 4.0% (34/841) of the rodents tested in this study. The 34 rodents represented nine species from seven regions of China. Phylogenetic analyses based on the partial groEL and nearly entire 16S rRNA gene sequences of

Tick-borne pathogens in raccoons (Procyon lotor) from Germany

Ticks and Tick-Borne Diseases
Germany is harbouring the majority of Europe's raccoon population, which are considered as invasive neozoa. Many zoonotic pathogens are found in wild raccoons worldwide, but there is a lack of eco-epidemiological data for most of Germany's raccoon ...

White-Toothed Shrews (Genus Crocidura): Potential Reservoirs for Zoonotic Leptospira spp. and Arthropod-Borne Pathogens?

Pathogens, 2023
Three species of white-toothed shrews of the order Eulipotyphla are present in central Europe: the bicolored (Crocidura leucodon), greater (Crocidura russula) and lesser (Crocidura suaveolens) white-toothed shrews.

An Emerging Role for Ticks as Vectors of Tularaemia in Sweden

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 1, January 2025.
Tularaemia is a cause of growing concern, spreading to new areas in Sweden and infecting hares and humans. This study reveal that Francisella tularensis subsp. holarctica has been isolated from ticks in Sweden for the first time. The bacterium has been detected in ticks collected from both hare and cat.

Ticks and Tick‐Borne Pathogens Encountered by Dogs and Cats: A North European Perspective

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Climate change is increasing the worldwide burden of tick‐borne diseases (TBDs). Dramatic increases in human cases of borreliosis have been reported during the past few decades, including from Finland, located in North Europe. As human exposure to ticks carrying pathogens is increasing, so likely is exposure of dogs and cats.

Ticks From Mink and Their Associated Microorganisms in Spain

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
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 ...

Wolbachia in Antarctic terrestrial invertebrates: Absent or undiscovered?

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 16, Issue 6, December 2024.
Endosymbiotic bacteria Wolbachia are recognized for their role in influencing host survival and stress resistance, particularly in cold environmental conditions across various species. However, our analysis of available data reveals a notable absence of Wolbachia in species abundant in the extreme cold conditions of Antarctica.

Identification of 'Candidatus Neoehrlichia mikurensis' and Anaplasma species in wildlife from Croatia [PDF]

Parasit Vectors, 2014
Vector borne diseases are classical emerging infectious diseases in human and animal populations. Ticks represent perfect vectors for number of bacteria, parasites and viruses. The genera Anaplasma, Ehrlichia and recently specified cluster ‘Candidatus Neoehrlichia’ comprise all bacteria from family Anaplasmataceae, transmitted by ixodid ticks to ...
