Ticking on Pandora’s box: a prospective case-control study into ‘other’ tick-borne diseases [PDF]

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2021
Background Tick-borne pathogens other than Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato – the causative agent of Lyme borreliosis – are common in Ixodes ricinus ticks. How often these pathogens cause human disease is unknown. In addition, diagnostic tools to identify

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’ in Europe [PDF]

New Microbes and New Infections, 2018
‘Candidatus Neoehrlichia mikurensis’ is an uncultured emerging bacterium that is provisionally included in the family Anaplasmataceae. In Europe, it is transmitted by Ixodes ricinus ticks. Rodents are the reservoirs.

Neoehrlichiosis in patients with multiple sclerosis in Halmstad, Sweden: A case series

Journal of Neuroimmunology
Neoehrlichiosis is an emerging tick-borne infection. The documented cases of human infection demonstrate a varying symptomatology, diagnostic difficulties, a lacking clinical awareness of the condition and a considerable diagnostic delay. A high prevalence of the causative pathogen has been found in ticks in large parts of Europe, and there is believed

Dual detection of Neoehrlichia mikurensis and Anaplasma phagocytophilum: How biplex PCR led in France to the diagnosis of neoehrlichiosis in post-tick bite fever

Infectious Diseases Now
Neoehrlichia mikurensis (NM) is an emerging intracellular bacterium member of the Anaplasmatacecae family. So far, only four cases have been described in France, all of them retrospectively.This study describes two new cases of NM discovered following implementation of a biplex PCR targeting both Anaplasma and NM.Two immunocompetent patients developed ...

Neoehrlichia mikurensis—An emerging opportunistic tick‐borne infection in immunosuppressed patients

Journal of Internal Medicine, Volume 293, Issue 6, Page 782-790, June 2023., 2023
Abstract Background Neoehrlichia mikurensis (N. mikurensis) is a newly discovered tick‐borne pathogen that can inflict life‐threatening illness in immunocompromised patients. N. mikurensis infection is only detectable by polymerase chain reaction (PCR)‐based methodologies. We describe three distinct clinical manifestations of N.
