Places of tick collection (circles) in Hungary. Full circles indicate places with samples positive in the multiplex PCR according to the following colour codes: blue dots stand for places where only Ca. Neoehrlichia mikurensis was identified in its genus; red dot marks the place where Ca. Neoehrlichia mikurensis was not identified, but PCR positivity was detected on the genus level (Ca. Neoehrlichia sp.); purple dots indicate places, where both types of samples were collected (i.e., some of them positive to Ca. Neoehrlichia mikurensis and others positive to Ca. Neoehrlichia genus excluding known European sequences of Ca. Neoehrlichia mikurensis).
