Ticks can transmit various diseases to people and animals. Some
well-known diseases spread by ticks include tick-borne encephalitis
(TBE) and Lyme disease. Researchers are hot on the trail of pathogens
carried by ticks. The parasitologists recently discovered a new form of
the bacterium Candidatus Neoehrlichia in a red fox from the Austrian
state of Vorarlberg. The pathogen might also be transmittable to humans,
they warn.
