Ehrlichiosis (/ ˌɛərlɪkiˈoʊsɪs /; also known as canine rickettsiosis, canine hemorrhagic fever, canine typhus, tracker dog disease, and tropical canine pancytopenia) is a tick-borne disease of dogs usually caused by the rickettsial agent Ehrlichia canis. Ehrlichia canis is the pathogen of animals.
Ehrlichia canis is an obligate intracellular bacterium that acts as the causative agent of ehrlichiosis, a disease most commonly affecting canine species.
This review is intended to describe a brief overview of Ehrlichia infection in dogs, its reported prevalence in east and south Asian countries, and the latest knowledge regarding chemotherapy and associated vectors responsible for the disease transmission.
Ehrlichiosis is a tick-borne [3] bacterial infection, [4] caused by bacteria of the family Anaplasmataceae, genera Ehrlichia and Anaplasma. These obligate intracellular bacteria infect and kill white blood cells. The average reported annual incidence is on the order of 2.3 cases per million people. [5] Types.
4 lut 2015 · Canine ehrlichiosis and anaplasmosis are important tick-borne diseases with a worldwide distribution. Ehrlichia canis was first identified in 1935 in Algeria; dogs infested with ticks showed fever and anemia [1].
Canine ehrlichiosis is usually caused by the rickettsia Ehrlichia canis, although other types of Ehrlichia are sometimes involved. (Rickettsiae are a specialized type of bacteria that live only inside other cells.)
Ehrlichia canis is an obligate intracellular parasite that infects mononuclear cells. The definitive hosts are arthropods; domestic and wild canids are parasitized secondarily. The primary vector and reservoir is the brown dog tick, Rhipicephalus sanguineus. Ehrlichia canis is found worldwide
