Wide distribution and genetic diversity of "Candidatus Neoehrlichia mikurensis" in rodents from China

Appl Environ Microbiol. 2013 Feb;79(3):1024-7. doi: 10.1128/AEM.02917-12. Epub 2012 Nov 26.

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 the agent revealed genetic diversity, which was correlated with its geographic origins.
