Natural IgM antibodies in the immune defence against neoehrlichiosis [PDF]
Infectious Diseases, 2017 Background: Neoehrlichiosis is an infectious disease caused by the tick-borne bacterium “Candidatus Neoehrlichia mikurensis”. Splenectomy and rituximab therapies are risk factors for severe neoehrlichiosis.

Serological reactivity to Anaplasma phagocytophilum in neoehrlichiosis patients [PDF]
European Journal of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, 2018 The tick-borne bacterium Candidatus (Ca.) Neoehrlichia (N.) mikurensis is a cause of "fever of unknown origin" because this strict intracellular pathogen escapes detection by routine blood cultures. Case reports suggest that neoehrlichiosis patients may display serological reactivity to Anaplasma (A.) phagocytophilum.

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