چکیده
In this work, we analyze data that support an epidemiological link between cases of canine monocytic ehrlichiosis (CME) by Ehrlichia canis and the presence Rhipicephalus sanguineus sensu stricto as vector in endemic area for tick Argentina. a blood sample 1-year-old toy poodle with CME compatible clinical signs, which showed typical morulae monocytes Giemsa-stained smear, DNA E. was detected PCR. Further, also female R. s.s. collected on infected dog. is only member group prevails study area. The results suggest may play more important role transmission than it assumed so far. temperate areas Argentina described work contrast previous studies found lato “tropical lineage” (which absent area) competent to transmit but not

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 ...
