Identification of Ehrlichia canis in East Africa

Veterinary Record, 1976
Ehrlichia canis, the causative agent of canine ehrlichiosis or tropical canine pancytopaenia (TCP) has been identified in Kenya. Transmission studies to two dogs resulted in signs of ehrlichiosis including marked thrombocytopaenia, pyrexia, reduction in the packed cell volume and the presence of E canis in peripheral blood mononuclear cells.

Ehrlichia canis and Tropical Canine Pancytopaenia

Research in Veterinary Science, 1972
Summary Ehrlichia canis was isolated from a military Jog with tropical canine pancytopaenia and experimental infections were studied in 34 dogs. All dogs developed a high fever. Overt clinical signs were more severe in Beagles than in mongreb, but the haemorrhages seen in naturally and experimentally infected Alsatians did not occur.

Genetic diversity of Ehrlichia canis in Brazil

Veterinary Microbiology, 2013
Canine monocytic ehrlichiosis is a highly prevalent disease in Brazil, where the genetic diversity of Ehrlichia canis remains undefined. In this study, we used the TRP36 gene to examine the genetic diversity of E. canis strains from naturally infected dogs residing in five distinct geographic regions in Brazil. E. canis DNA was detected in 82/126 (65%)

Ehrlichia canis Infection in a Child

Pediatrics, 1989
Ehrlichia canis is a tick-borne rickettsia that causes disease in animals throughout the world. Its importance as a human pathogen, however, has only recently been documented. We report a child with serologically proven ehrlichiosis, to highlight differential diagnosis, to expand the spectrum of dermatologic manifestations, and to provide the first ...

Ehrlichial infection in Cameroonian canines by Ehrlichia canis and Ehrlichia ewingii

Veterinary Microbiology, 2005
Ehrlichia chaffeensis and Ehrlichia ewingii are agents of emerging human ehrlichioses in North America and are transmitted primarily by Amblyomma americanum ticks, while Ehrlichia canis is the globally distributed cause of canine monocytic ehrlichiosis (CME) and is transmitted by the brown dog tick, Rhipicephalus sanguineus. Although E.

Ehrlichia canis-related polyarthritis in a dog

Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 1986
Ehrlichia canis-related polyarthritis was diagnosed in a 7-month-old Boxer. The diagnosis was based on intraneutrophilic morulae found in synovial fluid specimens, thrombocytopenia, a positive result for indirect fluorescent antibody testing for E canis, the presence on the dog of the known vector of E canis infection (Rhipicephalus sanguineus), and a ...

Infection Due to Ehrlichia canis in Children

Southern Medical Journal, 1992
Human ehrlichiosis has a wide spectrum of presentation. This report presents two cases that demonstrate the diversity of the manifestation of ehrlichiosis, from life threatening to a mild viral-like illness. Diagnosis requires an understanding of the epidemiology and clinical manifestation of this infection and a high index of suspicion.

Disseminated protothecosis in a dog coinfected with Hepatozoon canis and Ehrlichia canis

Veterinary Research Communications
Protothecosis is a severe, emerging opportunistic infection caused by the saprophytic, achlorophyllous microalgae of the genus Prototheca. Though uncommon, human and animal cases are increasing worldwide, making awareness of this fungal-like pathogen important in both human and veterinary medicine.

Durch Ehrlichia canis verursachte Nierenamyloidose

Schweizer Archiv für Tierheilkunde, 2003
An 8 year old, intact female, Old English Sheepdog was presented with lethargy and chronic weight loss of one year duration. The dog suffered from recurrent fever and a mild peripheral lymphadenopathy. Mild thrombocytopenia, monoclonal hyperglobulinemia and positive Ehrlichia canis antibody titer were indicative of Ehrlichiosis.

Structure of Ehrlichia canis in Blood Monocytes of a Dog

American Journal of Veterinary Research, 1972
SUMMARY The structure of Ehrlichia canis in blood monocytes of a dog naturally infected with ehrlichiosis was studied by light and electron microscopy. By light microscopy, it was observed that inclusions (morula forms) in the cytoplasm of monocytes contained subunits. By electron microscopy, it was observed that an inclusion was surrounded by a single
