Prevalence of Canine Monocytic Ehrlichiosis in Canine Population across India
Canine ehrlichiosis is a very important emerging disease in India. This study is the first attempt screening a large number of canines in India for the detection of canine monocytic ehrlichiosis. In the present study, 510 blood samples of dogs were screened for the presence of Ehrlichia canis and other variants of Anaplasmataceae family by serological and molecular methods.Out of the 510 serum ...
متن کاملCanine MonoCytiC ehrliChiosis
Canine monocytic ehrlichiosis is a tick borne disease caused by Ehrlichia canis, an obligate intracellular rickettsial organism belonging to the family Anaplasmataceae. Canine ehrlichiosis causes hemaotological changes among infected animals which could be used as a potential predictor for diagnosing canine monocytic ehrlichiosis (CME). Ninety-four blood samples were obtained from canines that ...
متن کاملDiagnosis of human ehrlichiosis by PCR assay of acute-phase serum.
A PCR assay of 43 acute-phase serum samples was evaluated as a method for early detection of human granulocytic ehrlichiosis (HGE) and determination of etiology when serologic testing is inconclusive. Sequence-confirmed products of the HGE agent were amplified from three individuals residing or having exposure history in Minnesota or Wisconsin, and similarly confirmed products from Ehrlichia ch...
متن کاملRecent advances in determining the pathogenesis of canine monocytic ehrlichiosis.
Canine monocytic ehrlichiosis (CME) is a potentially fatal tick-borne disease caused by the rickettsia Ehrlichia canis (16). The etiologic agent was first recognized in Algeria in 1935 (8). Since then, it has been reported worldwide, causing extensive morbidity and mortality among domestic dogs and other canids (11, 28, 51). The principal vector of CME is Rhipicephalus sanguineus (11). Recently...
