Candidatus Neoehrlichia mikurensis is widespread in questing Ixodes ricinus ticks in the Czech Republic
Original language description
Candidatus Neoehrlichia mikurensis, the causative agent of tick-borne “neoehrlichiosis” has recently been reported in humans, mammals and ticks in Europe. The aim of this study was to map the distribution of this bacterium in questing ticks in the Czech Republic. In total, 13 325 Ixodes ricinus were collected from vegetation by flagging at 140 Czech towns and villages from all regions of the Czech Republic. Sampled ticks were pooled into 2 665 groups of 5 individuals and tested for the presence of Ca. Neoehrlichia mikurensis by conventional PCR targeting of the groEL gene. The bacterium was detected in 533/2665 pools and 125/140 areas screened, showing an overall estimated prevalence of 4.4%. Phylogenetical analysis revealed only small genetic diversity in the strains found. Two pools of questing larvae tested positive, suggesting a possible transovarial transmission. According to this study, Ca. Neoehrlichia mikurensis is another tick-borne pathogen widespread in ticks in the Czech Republic.
