The hard tick Ixodes ricinus (Ixodidae) is the sole animal thus far shown to harbour an intra-
mitochondrial bacterium, which has recently been named Midichloria mitochondrii. The …

Abstract Background The Midichloriaceae is a novel family of the order Rickettsiales, that
encompasses intracellular bacteria associated with hard ticks (Ixodidae) and other …

Many ticks have been shown to be infected with intracellular bacteria. One of these bacteria
is Candidatus Midichloria mitochondrii which is the only characterized bacterium that has …

Candidatus Midichloria mitochondrii, symbiont of the sheep tick Ixodes ricinus, was the first
described member of the family Candidatus Midichloriaceae, order Rickettsiales. Recent …

Midichloria mitochondrii is an intracellular bacterium found in the hard tick Ixodes ricinus. In
this arthropod, M. mitochondrii is observed in the oocytes and in other cells of the ovary …

Ticks are important vectors of a variety of pathogens affecting humans and other animals,
but they also harbor numerous microorganisms whose role is still limitedly investigated …

Candidatus Midichloria mitochondrii (M. mitochondrii) belongs to a novel clade of bacteria
within the order Rickettsiales. Recent PCR-based screening studies indicate that it is …

We used next generation sequencing to detect the bacterium “Candidatus Midichloria
mitochondrii” for the first time in lone star ticks (Amblyomma americanum) from the eastern …

Midichloria mitochondrii is the most prevalent symbiont of the hard tick Ixodes ricinus,
present in 100% of eggs and adult females of wild ticks. This bacterium is intracellular, and …
