is a pathogen of rodents and wild mammals. Here, we report the first probable infection with in a mammalogist. In the study, we provided complete clinical description as well as laboratory analysis of probable human infection caused by . Considering the clinical course of the infection, the obvious epidemiological link (a bite by an infected rodent), the isolation of a pathogen from a sick vole that was affected by clinical infection with , and the specific serological response (slow agglutination test) in human patient, we can conclude that the human disease described here was probably caused by , an emerging bacterial pathogen transmitted by rodents. Rodents and other wildlife need to be monitored not only for established zoonotic agents such as hantaviruses, lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus, spp., , but also for and other atypical rodent-borne brucellae.
是啮齿动物和野生哺乳动物的病原体。在这里，我们报告了首例哺乳动物学家可能感染 的病例。在研究中，我们提供了完整的临床描述以及由 引起的可能的人类感染的实验室分析。考虑到感染的临床过程、明显的流行病学联系（被感染的啮齿动物咬伤）、从受临床感染的病仓鼠中分离出病原体，以及人类患者的特异性血清学反应（缓慢凝集试验），我们可以得出结论，这里描述的人类疾病可能是由 通过啮齿动物传播的新兴细菌病原体 引起的。需要监测啮齿动物和其他野生动物，不仅要监测汉坦病毒、淋巴细胞性脉络丛脑膜炎病毒、 属、 等已确立的人畜共患病原体，还要监测 和其他非典型的啮齿动物传播的布氏菌。
