biostudies-literatureUnknown15Wang X<i>Neoehrlichia mikurensis</i> (<i>N. mikurensis</i>) is an emerging tick-borne pathogen that can cause neoehrlichiosis. Rodents are considered the major host for <i>N. mikurensis</i>. Currently, <i>N. mikurensis</i> has been detected in rodents in several studies from China and other countries. However, no research on <i>N. mikurensis</i> infection in rodents has been reported in the Liupan mountain region. The region of Liupan Mountain, located in northwestern China, is the center of the triangle formed by the cities of Xi'an, Yinchuan, and Lanzhou, with multiple tourist sites in the region. To survey whether there is <i>N. mikurensis</i> in hosts, rodents were captured in this region in September 2020.
