Anaplasmataceae closely related to Ehrlichia chaffeensis and Neorickettsia helminthoeca from birds in Central Europe, Hungary. [PDF]
Increasing amount of data attest that (in the context of vector-borne infections) birds are not only important as hosts of blood-sucking arthropod vectors, but also as reservoirs of vector-borne pathogens. From 2015 to 2019 cadavers of 100 birds (from 45

Naturally Occurring Ehrlichia chaffeensis Infection in Coyotes from Oklahoma
A nested polymerase chain reaction assay was used to determine the presence of Ehrlichia chaffeensis, E. canis, and E. ewingii DNA in blood samples of free-ranging coyotes from central and north-central Oklahoma. Of the 21 coyotes examined, 15 (71%) were

<i>Ehrlichia chaffeensis</i> proteomic profiling reveals distinct expression patterns of infectious and replicating forms. [PDF]
Ehrlichia chaffeensis is a tick-transmitted rickettsial pathogen responsible for causing human monocytic ehrlichiosis (HME). The pathogen’s developmental cycle includes infectious dense-core cells (DCs) and non-infectious replicating cells (RCs ...

Ehrlichia chaffeensis and E. canis hypothetical protein immunoanalysis reveals small secreted immunodominant proteins and conformation-dependent antibody epitopes. [PDF]
Immunomolecular characterization of Ehrlichia chaffeensis (E. ch.) and E. canis (E. ca.) has defined protein orthologs, including tandem repeat proteins (TRPs) that have immunodominant linear antibody epitopes.

Evidence of Ehrlichia chaffeensis in Argentina through molecular detection in marsh deer (Blastocerus dichotomus) [PDF]
Vector-borne pathogens are responsible for serious emerging diseases and have been widely described in wildlife. Ehrlichia chaffeensis causes the zoonotic “monocytic ehrlichiosis” in humans, is transmitted by the tick Amblyomma americanum and its ...

Multiple Ehrlichia chaffeensis Genes Critical for Its Persistent Infection in a Vertebrate Host Are Identified by Random Mutagenesis Coupled with In Vivo Infection Assessment. [PDF]
Ehrlichia chaffeensis, a tick-transmitted obligate intracellular rickettsial agent, causes human monocytic ehrlichiosis. In recent reports, we described substantial advances in developing random and targeted gene disruption methods to investigate the ...

Serosurvey of <i>Anaplasma phagocytophilum</i>, <i>Babesia microti</i>, and <i>Ehrlichia chaffeensis</i> in Quilombola Communities of Southern Brazil. [PDF]
Although quilombola individuals and their dogs may be exposed to hemoparasites such as A. phagocytophilum, B. microti, and E. chaffeensis, no study to date has been conducted in these populations.

Modeling the effects of Ehrlichia Chaffeensis and movement on dogs
Ehrlichia chaffeensis is a tick-borne infectious disease transmitted by amblyomma americanum tick. This infectious disease was discovered in the 1970s when military dogs were returning from the Vietnam war. The disease was found to be extremely severe in
