| human infection with ehrlichia muris-like pathogen, united states, 2007-2013(1). | an ehrlichia muris-like (eml) pathogen was detected among 4 patients in minnesota and wisconsin during 2009. we characterized additional cases clinically and epidemiologically. during 2004-2013, blood samples from 75,077 patients from all 50 united states were tested by pcr from the groel gene for ehrlichia spp. and anaplasma phagocytophilum. during 2007-2013, samples from 69 (0.1%) patients were positive for the eml pathogen; patients were from 5 states: indiana (1), michigan (1), minnesota (33 ... | 2015 | 26402378 |
| prevalence and distribution of human and tick infections with the ehrlichia muris-like agent and anaplasma phagocytophilum in wisconsin, 2009-2015. | ehrlichiosis and anaplasmosis are important emerging tickborne zoonoses that affect both humans and animals. knowledge of the geographic distribution and prevalence of ehrlichia spp. and anaplasma phagocytophilum in wisconsin is important information as a baseline for future comparisons. reported human cases between 2009 and 2015 were identified using the wisconsin electronic disease surveillance system (wedss) and mapped by county of residence. vector surveillance was established using ticks co ... | 2017 | 28055326 |
| proposal to reclassify ehrlichia muris as ehrlichia muris subsp. muris subsp. nov. and description of ehrlichia muris subsp. eauclairensis subsp. nov., a newly recognized tick-borne pathogen of humans. | we have previously described a novel taxon of the genus ehrlichia (type strain wisconsint), closely related to ehrlichia muris, that causes human ehrlichiosis among patients with exposures to ticks in the upper midwestern usa. dna from this bacterium was also detected in ixodes scapularis and peromyscus leucopus collected in minnesota and wisconsin. to determine the relationship between the e. muris-like agent (emla) and other species of the genus ehrlichia phenotypic, genotypic and epidemiologi ... | 2017 | 28699575 |
| co-feeding transmission of the ehrlichia muris-like agent to mice (mus musculus). | the ehrlichia muris-like agent (emla) is a newly recognized human pathogen found in wisconsin and minnesota. ecological investigations have implicated both the blacklegged tick, ixodes scapularis, and the white-footed mouse, peromyscus leucopus, as playing roles in the maintenance of emla in nature. the work presented here shows that i. scapularis is an efficient vector of emla in a laboratory mouse model, but that dermacentor variabilis, another frequent human biting tick found in emla endemic ... | 2016 | 26824725 |
