Canine Ehrlichiosis: Update

Canine ehrlichiosis : Update Barbara Qurollo, MS, DVM Vector-Borne Disease Diagnostic Laboratory Dep. Clinical Sciences-College of Veterinary Medicine North Carolina State University Overview Ehrlichia species are tick-transmitted, obligate intracellular bacteria that can cause granulocytic or monocytic ehrlichiosis . Ehlrichia species that have been detected in the blood and tissues of clinically ill dogs in North America include Ehrlichia canis, E. chaffeenis, E. ewingii, E. muris and Panola Mountain Ehrlichia species (Table 1). Clinicopathologic abnormalities reported in dogs with ehrlichiosis vary depending on the species of Ehrlichia, strain variances and the immune or health status of the dog.

Canine monocytic ehrlichiosis (CME) is characterized by 3 stages: acute, subclinical and chronic. Following an incubation period of 1-3 weeks, infected dogs may remain subclinical or present with nonspecific signs including fever, lethargy, lymphadenopathy, splenomegaly, lameness, edema, bleeding disorders and mucopurulent ocular discharge.
