The “Biological Weapons” of Ehrlichia chaffeensis: Novel Molecules and Mechanisms to Subjugate Host Cells

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022
Ehrlichia chaffeensis is an obligatory intracellular bacterium that causes human monocytic ehrlichiosis, an emerging, potentially fatal tick-borne infectious disease.

Novel Anaplasmataceae agents Candidatus Ehrlichia hydrochoerus and Anaplasma spp. Infecting Capybaras, Brazil

open access: yesEmerging 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 ...

Canine infection with Dirofilaria immitis, Borrelia burgdorferi, Anaplasma spp., and Ehrlichia spp. in the United States, 2013–2019

open access: yesParasites & 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.

An intracellular nanobody targeting T4SS effector inhibits Ehrlichia infection

open access: yesProceedings 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

open access: yesPathogens 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 ...

First Evidence of Ehrlichia minasensis Infection in Horses from Brazil

open access: yesPathogens, 2021
The genus Ehrlichia includes tick-borne bacterial pathogens affecting humans, domestic and wild mammals. Ehrlichia minasensis has been identified in different animal species and geographical locations, suggesting that this is a widely distributed and ...

Ehrlichia chaffeensis TRP120 Is a Wnt Ligand Mimetic That Interacts with Wnt Receptors and Contains a Novel Repetitive Short Linear Motif That Activates Wnt Signaling

open access: yesMsphere, 2021
Upon infecting mammalian hosts, Ehrlichia chaffeensis establishes a replicative niche in microbe-eating immune system cells where it expertly orchestrates infection and spread.

Detection of Rickettsia amblyommatis and Ehrlichia chaffeensis in Amblyomma americanum Inhabiting Two Urban Parks in Oklahoma.

open access: yesVector Borne and Zoonotic Diseases, 2021
For the past 30 years, the number of people infected with causative agents of ehrlichiosis, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, and spotted fever group rickettiosis (SFGR) has increased in Oklahoma.

Performance analysis of anaplasma antibody competitive ELISA using the ROC curve for screening of anaplasmosis in camel populations in Egypt [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Anaplasmosis is a tick-born and potential zoonotic disease caused by Anaplasma (A.) phagocytophilum, A. ovis, A. platys and A. capra. Anaplasma marginale affecting bovines and camels causing significant economic losses.

Ehrlichia Infection in Italy [PDF]

open access: yesEmerging 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 ...
