Ehrlichia canis Vaccine Development: Challenges and Advances. [PDF]
Vet SciCanine monocytic ehrlichiosis (CME) is an infectious disease caused by Ehrlichia canis, a globally recognized obligate intracellular bacterium. In addition to dogs, other animals, including humans, may be affected. Despite its epidemiological importance and impact on public health, there is currently no commercial vaccine against E. canis.

Ehrlichia canis in Human and Tick, Italy, 2023. [PDF]
Emerg Infect DisIn August 2023, ehrlichiosis was confirmed in a patient in Italy with a Haemaphysalis punctata tick attached to his neck. Gene sequences of Ehrlichia canis from the tick and the patient were identical, indicating a potential risk for this uncommon infection for persons participating in outdoor activities.
