Serologic cross-reactions among Ehrlichia equi, Ehrlichia phagocytophila, and human granulocytic Ehrlichia [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1995
Homology in the 16S rDNAs shows that the agent of human granulocytic ehrlichiosis (HGE) is closely related to the veterinary pathogens Erlichia equi and Erlichia phagocytophila. After HGE, patients develop antibodies reactive with E. equi and E.

Antigenic and Genomic Relatedness among Ehrlichia risticii, Ehrlichia sennetsu, and Ehrlichia canis [PDF]

International Journal of Systematic Bacteriology, 1992
Antigenic and genomic relatedness among Ehrlichia risticii, E. sennetsu, and E. canis was analyzed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, Western blotting (immunoblotting) and DNA-DNA hybridization. E. risticii and E. sennetsu were serologically related, and their Western blot antigen profiles were nearly identical. Two antigens of E.

Seroprevalence of Ehrlichia canis, Ehrlichia chaffeensis and Ehrlichia ewingii in dogs in North America [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors, 2012
This study evaluated the exposure of dogs to three different Ehrlichia spp. in the south and central regions of the United States where vector-borne disease prevalence has been previously difficult to ascertain, particularly beyond the metropolitan areas.Dog blood samples (n = 8,662) were submitted from 14 veterinary colleges, 6 private veterinary ...

Ehrlichia spp. close to Ehrlichia ruminantium, Ehrlichia canis, and “Candidatus Ehrlichia regneryi” linked to heartwater-like disease in Kenyan camels (Camelus dromedarius)

Tropical Animal Health and Production, 2021
We present findings from an outbreak of a heartwater-like disease in camels that killed at least 2000 adult animals in Kenya in 2016. Clinical signs included excitability, head pressing, aimless wandering, recumbency, and fast breathing followed by death after about 4 days. The observed morbidity in one herd was 40% with an average mortality of 7.5% in

Ehrlichia and Anaplasma

EDIS, 2021
Ehrlichia and Anaplasma are bacteria that cause diseases, known as ehrlichiosis and anaplasmosis, in humans and other animals. Ehrlichia and Anaplasma are primarily transmitted through the bites of infected hard ticks, such as the lone star tick, the blacklegged tick, and the American dog tick.

Ehrlichia chaffeensis Uses an Invasin To Suppress Reactive Oxygen Species Generation by Macrophages via CD147-Dependent Inhibition of Vav1 To Block Rac1 Activation

mBio, 2020
The obligatory intracellular pathogen Ehrlichia chaffeensis lacks most factors that could respond to oxidative stress (a host cell defense mechanism).

Molecular characterization of novel Ehrlichia genotypes in Ixodes auritulus from Uruguay

Current Research in Parasitology and Vector-Borne Diseases, 2021
Ehrlichia are small intracellular Gram-negative bacteria transmitted by ticks. These microorganisms cause ehrlichiosis, a complex of life-threatening emerging zoonoses and diseases of global veterinary relevance.

Ehrlichia Infection in Italy [PDF]

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 1998
Immunoglobulin M seroconversion to Ehrlichia chaffeensis was documented in U.S. citizens bitten by ticks in Sardinia. Seven cases of suspected ehrlichiosis in local residents were not confirmed by laboratory tests. In Alpine areas antibodies to E. phagocytophila were detected in persons at high risk, i.e., foresters (8.6%) and hunters (5.5%), and in ...

Prevalence of antibodies to rickettsias and ehrlichias in four border departments of Peru

Revista Peruana de Medicina Experimental y Salud Pública, 2017
To determine the prevalence of antibodies to Rickettsia and Ehrlichia, related to recent and past contact, in the border towns of the departments Loreto, Madre de Dios, Tumbes and Tacna, during the years 2010 and 2011, surveys for serological evaluation ...

Molecular detection of Ehrlichia spp. in ticks parasitizing wild lagomorphs from Spain: characterization of a novel Ehrlichia species

Parasites & Vectors, 2022
Background Several species belonging to the genus Ehrlichia are considered pathogenic for animals and humans. Although wildlife are known to play an important role in the epidemiology of these bacteria, information on the role of wild lagomorphs in their
