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.
