Molecular Survey and Genetic Analysis of Ehrlichia canis in Rhipicephalus sanguineus Ticks Infesting Dogs in Northern Taiwan [PDF]

Microorganisms
Ehrlichia canis is a tick-transmitted zoonotic pathogen in dogs. We conducted a molecular survey for screening of E. canis infection in Rhipicephalus sanguineus ticks infesting dogs and identified its genetic identity in Taiwan.

Seroprevalence of Ehrlichia canis and of Canine Granulocytic Ehrlichia Infection in Dogs in Switzerland [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1998
ABSTRACT Serum samples from 996 dogs in Switzerland were examined for antibodies to Ehrlichia canis and to the agent causing canine granulocytic ehrlichiosis (CGE). Ehrlichiosis, borreliosis, and systemic illness not associated with ticks were suspected in 75, 122, and 157 of these dogs, respectively.

Ehrlichia canis in Human and Tick, Italy, 2023. [PDF]

Emerg Infect Dis
In 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.

Canine Ehrlichiosis Caused Simultaneously by Ehrlichia canis and Ehrlichia platys [PDF]

Microbiology and Immunology, 2000
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 canis Vaccine Development: Challenges and Advances. [PDF]

Vet Sci
Canine 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.
