quote: Recently, a novel ehrlichial organism was isolated from a raccoon (Procyon lotor) and the isolate (RAC413) was infectious to two na�ve raccoons but not laboratory mice, rats or rabbits.
...confirmed that the novel ehrlichial organism was a member of the family Anaplasmataceae and was most closely related to, but distinct from, 'Candidatus Neoehrlichia mikurensis'

It means that they gave the isolate to two uninfected (naive) raccoons and they got the infection.
They did the same with mice,rats and rabbits, but they didn't catch the infection.
