Detection of<i>Ehrlichia</i>spp. in the Blood of Wild White-Tailed Deer in Missouri by PCR Assay and Serologic Analysis
1 Mar 2003
Abstract excerpt
Blood samples collected from wild deer in Missouri in November of 2000 and 2001 were positive by PCR assays for Ehrlichia chaffeensis (50 of 217; 23%), Ehrlichia ewingii (44 of 217; 20%), and Anaplasma species (214 of 217; 99%). Nucleotide sequences of selected amplicons from the assay for anaplasma matched sequences of the white-tailed deer agent. Serologic analysis of 112 deer sampled in 2000 showed a very high...
