Antigenic Diversity of Granulocytic<i>Ehrlichia</i>Isolates from Humans in Wisconsin and New York and a Horse in California
1 Oct 1997
Abstract excerpt
The agent of human granulocytic ehrlichiosis (HGE), Ehrlichia phagocytophila, and Ehrlichia equi are very similar. HGE is of variable severity. Genetic and antigenic differences among 3 human isolates (Webster, Spooner, and NY-8) and 1 horse isolate (MRK) were evaluated. The 16S rRNA gene sequences were identical in all human isolates. By use of 5 homologous antisera from these 3 humans and 1 horse and an...
