TL;DR: The results indicate that in naturally infected dogs, E. chaffeensis can cause severe disease manifestations that are clinically and serologically indistinguishable from disease manifestations of E. canis or E. ewingii, and the efficacy of doxycycline for treatment of these infections is supported.

TL;DR: The molecular evidence presented in this study supporting E canis‐like infection in cats must be interpreted with caution and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing may be necessary until serologic testing is thoroughly validated in experimentally or naturally infected cats.

TL;DR: These results provide the first molecular documentation for the presence of E. platys 16S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) sequences reported from these two geographically divergent countries, and a phylogenetic analysis of the rRNA, incorporating the consideration of secondary structure.

TL;DR: The results of this study indicate that dogs in Thailand have substantial exposure to vectorborne diseases and that coinfection with these pathogens may be common.

TL;DR: Spontaneous resolution of infection, induced by the dog’s innate immune response, provides evidence that an E. canis vaccine, once developed, might potentially confer protective immunity against the organism.
