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

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.

BMC Veterinary Research, 2020 Background Anaplasma and Ehrlichia species are tick-borne pathogens of both veterinary and public health importance. The current status of these pathogens, including emerging species such as Ehrlichia minasensis and Anaplasma platys, infecting cattle in ...

PLoS Computational Biology, 2021 The identification of bacterial effectors is essential to understand how obligatory intracellular bacteria such as Ehrlichia spp. manipulate the host cell for survival and replication. Infection of mammals-including humans-by the intracellular pathogenic

Parasites & Vectors, 2021 Dogs in the US are commonly infected with vector-borne pathogens, including heartworm and tick-borne disease agents. The geographic distribution of both arthropod vectors and the pathogens they transmit continues to expand.

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2022 We amplified Ehrlichia and Anaplasma DNA from Amblyomma dubitatum tick–infested capybaras (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris) in southern Brazil. Sequencing of 16S rRNA, sodB, and groEL indicated a novel Ehrlichia species, and sequencing of 16S rRNA from 2 ...

An intracellular nanobody targeting T4SS effector inhibits Ehrlichia infection
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2021 Significance Disease-relevant targets of infection by obligatory intracellular pathogens are beyond the reach of conventional antibodies. The neutralizing targets of intracellular pathogens in host cells are mostly unknown. The present study attempted to

Ehrlichia TRP effectors: moonlighting, mimicry and infection
Pathogens and Disease, 2021 Intracellular bacteria have evolved various strategies to evade host defense mechanisms. Remarkably, the obligately intracellular bacterium, Ehrlichia chaffeensis, hijacks host cell processes of the mononuclear phagocyte to evade host defenses through ...
