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.

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

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.

Ultrastructure of Ehrlichia canis [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 1973 The ultrastructure of Ehrlichia canis was examined in both pulmonary mononuclear cells and in monocytes cultured from an infected dog. The cytoplasmic inclusions, or morulae, of E. canis consisted of a membrane-lined vacuole-containing elementary bodies which varied in size and number.
