ABSTRACT: To determine the association between ocular abnormalities and hematologic findings in Ehrlichia canis-infected dogs, 120 dogs suspected of canine ehrlichiosis were studied. All patients subjected to rapid serologic diagnostic test for canis, diagnosis was confirmed by quantitative PCR. PCR-positive underwent ophthalmologic examination a hemogram grouped into with thrombocytopenia anem...

Canine tick borne disease, such as anaplasmosis and ehrlichiosis are common diseases in veterinary practices. Most patients are diagnosed using clinical findings, history of tick bites and hematological findings; however, proper approach to diagnostic is not always feasible. Blood from 104 animal patients from urban and rural areas were analyzed finding 53.84% (n=56) having parameters compatibl...

Canine monocytic ehrlichiosis (CME) is a tick-borne disease caused by the rickettsia Ehrlichia canis. Ocular lesions are a common feature of the disease and can be present in all stages. The purpose of this retrospective study was to determine the prevalence, type and response to treatment of ocular lesions associated with monocytic ehrlichiosis in 46 affected dogs presented to the Autonomous U...

Ehrlichia chaffeensis is one of the causative agents of canine ehrlichiosis and human monocytic ehrlichiosis (HME). Canine ehrlichiosis caused by E. chaffeensis was diagnosed in two dogs in South Korea based on clinical findings, and the diagnosis was confirmed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and DNA sequencing. A 5-year-old intact male American Pit bull terrier allowed outdoors was found to...

Canine monocytic ehrlichiosis (Ehrlichia canis infection) is a serious tick-transmitted disease of dogs that was considered exotic to Australia until recently. The first reported across northern and central in 2020, with significant canine morbidity mortalities observed at indigenous communities where dog numbers are high, ticks superabundant, tick prevention scant. date location the incursion ...

This paper reports a toxoplasmosis, ehrlichiosis and distemper co-infection in a dog with an exuberant neuropathological clinical picture. Primary involvement was discussed based on information collected in the analysis of the clinical case, such as neurological impairment, epidemiological data, poor immunoprophylactic scheme of the dog affected and the role of these diseases on immunosuppressi...

Canine monocytic ehrlichiosis caused primarily by Ehrlichia canis and canine thrombocytic anaplasmosis induced by Anaplasma platys are important emerging zoonotic tick-borne diseases of dogs. There is evidence that these pathogens can also affect humans. This study evaluated the presence of E. canis and A. platys in blood samples collected from 256 domiciled dogs in the municipality of Jataizin...
