Comparison of the Nucleotide Sequences of 16S rRNA, 444Ep-ank, andgroESLHeat Shock Operon Genes in Naturally OccurringEhrlichia equiand Human Granulocytic Ehrlichiosis Agent Isolates from Northern California

Abstract excerpt

We examined 11 naturally occurring isolates of Ehrlichia equi in horses and two human granulocytic ehrlichiosis agent isolates in California for sequence diversity in three genes. Ehrlichia equi isolates were from Sierra (n = 6), Mendocino (n = 3), Sonoma (n = 1), and Marin (n = 1) counties, and human granulocytic ehrlichiosis (HGE) agent isolates were obtained from Humboldt county. PCR with specific primers for...
