METHODS: We tested peripheral-blood leukocytes from 413 patients with possible ehrlichiosis by broad-range and specie…

Invasive species can displace natives, and thus identifying the traits that make aliens successful is crucial for predicting and preventing biodiversity loss. Pathogens may play an important role in the invasive process, facilitating colonization of their hosts in new continents and islands. According to the Novel Wea…
