title: A new case of the enigmatic Candidatus Neoehrlichia sp. (FU98) in a fox from the Czech Republic.
abstract: This study reports a new case of Candidatus Neoehrlichia sp. (FU98) infection in a fox from the Czech Republic, and provides confirmatory evidence on the occurrence of this newly identified sequence type. However, further studies are needed to investigate the distribution, host range and possible vector(s) for this bacterium, as well as its impact on animals and humans.
