Journal ArticleDOI
Diagnosis of canine monocytotropic ehrlichiosis (Ehrlichia canis): an overview.
Shimon Harrus,Trevor Waner +1 more
TL;DR: Traditional diagnostic techniques including hematology, cytology, serology and isolation are valuable diagnostic tools for CME, however a definitive diagnosis of E. canis infection requires molecular techniques.
Journal ArticleDOI
Drivers for the emergence and re-emergence of vector-borne protozoal and bacterial diseases
Shimon Harrus,Gad Baneth +1 more
TL;DR: A coordinated global approach for the prevention of vector-borne diseases should be implemented by international organizations and governmental agencies in collaboration with research institutions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Guideline for veterinary practitioners on canine ehrlichiosis and anaplasmosis in Europe
Ángel Sainz,Xavier Roura,Guadalupe Miró,Agustín Estrada-Peña,Barbara Kohn,Shimon Harrus,Laia Solano-Gallego +6 more
TL;DR: This guideline is intended to answer the most common questions on these diseases from a practical point of view and provide a practical guideline for veterinary practitioners on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of ehrlichiosis and anaplasmosis in dogs from Europe.
Journal ArticleDOI
Amplification of Ehrlichial DNA from Dogs 34 Months after Infection with Ehrlichia canis
TL;DR: It was concluded that PCR of DNA extracted from splenic aspirates is a reliable method for determining the carrier state of CME and suggests that the spleen is the organ most likely to harbor E. canis parasites during the subclinical phase and the last organ to accommodate the parasite before elimination.
Journal Article
Molecular, clinical, and pathologic comparison of two distinct strains of haemobartonella felis in domestic cats
TL;DR: Genetically and morphologically distinct strains of H felis infect cats in the field and the level of genetic difference suggested that these strains may be different species or genera.
