To summarize, A. phagocytophilum and B. microti are prevalent in bank voles in central Finland. Because they are transmitted by I. trianguliceps ticks, whose distribution range covers most of Finland, we predict that these pathogens might be widespread in Finland. Although it is unlikely that B. microti or A. phagocytophilum strains found here cause any direct risk to humans in Finland, these pathogens may interact with other pathogens and therefore affect infection dynamics of, for example, zoonotic pathogens. Therefore, further studies are needed to examine the role of these B. microti and A. phagocytophilum strains in the pathogen community of Finnish rodents and to examine the presence of other, potentially zoonotic strains in Finland.
