Ehrlichia chaffeensis Infection of Sika Deer, Japan

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2009
To determine whether Ehrlichia chaffeensis exists in Japan, we used PCR to examine blood from sika deer in Nara, Japan. Of 117 deer, 36 (31%) were infected with E. chaffeensis. The E.

Immunoreactive Protein Repertoires of Ehrlichia chaffeensis and E. canis Reveal the Dominance of Hypothetical Proteins and Conformation-Dependent Antibody Epitopes. [PDF]

Infect Immun, 2021
The immunomes of Ehrlichia chaffeensis and Ehrlichia canis have recently been revised to include immunodominant hypothetical proteins with conformational antibody epitopes. In this study, we examined 216 E. chaffeensis and 190 E.

Analysis of Amblyomma americanum microRNAs in response to Ehrlichia chaffeensis infection and their potential role in vectorial capacity. [PDF]

Front Cell Infect Microbiol
Background MicroRNAs (miRNAs) represent a subset of small noncoding RNAs and carry tremendous potential for regulating gene expression at the post-transcriptional level.

Mutations in Ehrlichia chaffeensis Genes ECH_0660 and ECH_0665 Cause Transcriptional Changes in Response to Zinc or Iron Limitation. [PDF]

J Bacteriol, 2021
Ehrlichia chaffeensis, a tick-transmitted bacterium, causes human monocytic ehrlichiosis by replicating within phagosomes of monocytes/macrophages. A function disruption mutation within the pathogen’s gene encoding a phage head-to-tail connector protein ...

Detection of Rickettsia amblyommatis and Ehrlichia chaffeensis in Amblyomma americanum Inhabiting Two Urban Parks in Oklahoma. [PDF]

Vector Borne Zoonotic Dis, 2021
For the past 30 years, the number of people infected with causative agents of ehrlichiosis, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, and spotted fever group rickettiosis (SFGR) has increased in Oklahoma.

Functional Characterization of Multiple Ehrlichia chaffeensis Sodium (Cation)/Proton Antiporter Genes Involved in the Bacterial pH Homeostasis. [PDF]

Int J Mol Sci, 2021
Ehrlichia chaffeensis causes human monocytic ehrlichiosis. Little is known about how this and other related tick-borne rickettsia pathogens maintain pH homeostasis in acidified phagosomes and the extracellular milieu.

Ehrlichia chaffeensis and Four Anaplasma Species With Veterinary and Public Health Significance Identified in Tibetan Sheep (Ovis aries) and Yaks (Bos grunniens) in Qinghai, China. [PDF]

Front Vet Sci, 2021
Tick-borne diseases (TBDs) can cause serious economic losses and are very important to animal and public health. To date, research on TBDs has been limited in Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, China.

Alpha Enolase 1 Ubiquitination and Degradation Mediated by Ehrlichia chaffeensis TRP120 Disrupts Glycolytic Flux and Promotes Infection. [PDF]

Pathogens, 2021
Ehrlichia chaffeensis modulates numerous host cell processes, including gene transcription to promote infection of the mononuclear phagocyte. Modulation of these host cell processes is directed through E. chaffeensis effectors, including TRP120.

Protein and DNA Biosynthesis Demonstrated in Host Cell-Free Phagosomes Containing Anaplasma phagocytophilum or Ehrlichia chaffeensis in Axenic Media. [PDF]

Infect Immun, 2021
Rickettsiae belong to the Anaplasmataceae family, which includes mostly tick-transmitted pathogens causing human, canine, and ruminant diseases. Biochemical characterization of the pathogens remains a major challenge because of their obligate parasitism.

Mathematical model of Ehrlichia chaffeensis transmission dynamics in dogs

Journal of Biological Dynamics, 2023
Ehrlichia chaffeensis is a tick-borne disease transmitted by ticks to dogs. Few studies have mathematical modelled such tick-borne disease in dogs, and none have developed models that incorporate different ticks' developmental stages (discrete variable ...
