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

Ehrlichia Meningoencephalitis: A Case Series [PDF]
Objective: We present the distinct clinical and laboratory findings in two cases of Ehrlichia meningoencephalitis, along with one suspected case. Background: The number of cases of Ehrlichia chaffeensis reported to the CDC has more than doubled from 2007-2017.

Canine Ehrlichiosis Caused Simultaneously by Ehrlichia canis and Ehrlichia platys [PDF]
AbstractTo identify the causative agent of canine ehrlichiosis that has occurred in the suburbs of Guangzhou, China, since 1998, the 16S rRNA gene was amplified and sequenced. Two sequences of 1,482 and 1,483 base pairs were obtained and named as Gzh981 and Gzh982, respectively.

Ehrlichia Infection in Italy [PDF]
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 ...

Survey of vector-borne agents in feral cats and first report of Babesia gibsoni in cats on St Kitts, West Indies [PDF]
Background: As there is little data on vector-borne diseases of cats in the Caribbean region and even around the world, we tested feral cats from St Kitts by PCR to detect infections with Babesia, Ehrlichia and spotted fever group Rickettsia (SFGR) and

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

Cost effective, experimentally robust differential-expression analysis for human/mammalian, pathogen and dual-species transcriptomics. [PDF]
As sequencing read length has increased, researchers have quickly adopted longer reads for their experiments. Here, we examine 14 pathogen or host-pathogen differential gene expression data sets to assess whether using longer reads is warranted.

Association between canine leishmaniosis and Ehrlichia canis co-infection: a prospective case-control study [PDF]
Background In the Mediterranean basin, Leishmania infantum is a major cause of disease in dogs, which are frequently co-infected with other vector-borne pathogens (VBP).
