Human Monocytic Ehrlichiosis Associated With Myocarditis and Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis [PDF]

JACC: Case Reports, 2020
We present 3 cases at a single institution of human monocytic ehrlichiosis resulting in myocarditis and hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis. Contrary to previously published studies in which case fatalities were only as high as 1%, 2 of the 3 patients we ...

Mitochondrial Dysfunction in <i>Ehrlichia canis</i> Infection. [PDF]

Transbound Emerg Dis
Transmitted by tick vectors, Ehrlichia canis (E. canis) is a Gram‐negative, obligate intracellular bacterium of zoonotic concern that infects both canine and human hosts. Its pathogenesis centers on the targeting of mononuclear phagocytes, where it establishes an intracellular niche by suppressing phagolysosomal fusion and evading immune detection ...

Estimated seroprevalence of Ehrlichia canis in dogs in a remote community in the Northern Territory, Australia. [PDF]

Aust Vet J
Background The emergence of Ehrlichia canis in northern Australia in 2020 has reshaped the landscape of tick‐borne diseases in dogs, particularly in rural and remote communities where the brown dog tick (Rhipicephalus linnaei) is endemic. Despite the rapid spread of ehrlichiosis and reported impacts on dog health, its prevalence remains poorly ...

Pst and Tat Systems Are Essential for Ehrlichia chaffeensis Intracellular Survival and Regulated by CtrA [PDF]

Microorganisms
Ehrlichia chaffeensis is an obligate intracellular Gram-negative bacterium that infects human monocytes and macrophages, causing human monocytic ehrlichiosis (HME). HME is an emerging and highly threatening tick-borne infectious disease.

Central Nervous System Vasculitis Due to Ehrlichia canis in a Dog. [PDF]

Vet Med Sci
A 4‐year‐old spayed female mixed‐breed dog presented with a 2‐month history of vestibulo‐cerebellar ataxia and right head tilt. Clinical and MRI findings indicated right paradoxical vestibular syndrome with multifocal brain lesions and meningeal enhancement. Haematology revealed lymphocytosis, thrombocytopenia and hyperglobulinemia.
