Development and validation of a TaqMan® probe- based real-time PCR assay for detection of Ehrlichia canis

Abstract excerpt

Ehrlichiosis is a potentially fatal zoonotic tick-borne disease, caused by a pleomorphic Gram-negative bacterium. It occurs worldwide and affects humans, domestic and wild animals. Dogs infected with Ehrlichia canis develop canine monocytic ehrlichiosis (CME), a significant infectious disease of canines. TaqMan® based real-time PCR assays to detect Ehrlichia spp. affecting dogs were developed and a real-time PCR...
