Background   Candidatus  Neoehrlichia mikurensis is a newly emerging tick-borne bacterium from the family Anaplasmataceae. Its presence in  Ixodes ricinus  ticks was reported from various European countries, however, it’s ecology and co-circulation with another member of the same family,  Anaplasma phagocytophilum  has not been rigorously studied yet.    Findings   Candidatus  N. mikurensis was detected in all sampling sites. In total, 4.5% of ticks were positive including larvae. The highest positivity was detected in Austria with a prevalence of 23.5%. The probability of  Candidatus  N. mikurensis occurrence increased with the proportion of ticks infected with  Anaplasma phagocytophilum .    Conclusion  A positive association between the occurrences of  Candidatus  N. mikurensis and  A. phagocytophilum  indicates that both bacteria share similar ecology for their natural foci in Central Europe.
