Ehrlichia muris is an agent of human ehrlichiosis. To determine its geographic spread in the United States, during 2016-2017, we tested 8,760 ticks from 45 states. A distinct clade of E. muris found in 3 Ixodes cookei ticks from the northeastern United States suggests transmission by these ticks in this region.
Ehrlichia muris 是人类埃立克体病的病原体。为了确定其在美国的地理分布,我们在 2016 年至 2017 年期间检测了来自 45 个州的 8760 只蜱虫。在美国东北部的 3 只 Ixodes cookei 蜱虫中发现的 E. muris 独特分支表明该地区存在这些蜱虫的传播。
