Epidemiological survey of Ehrlichia canis and related species infection in dogs in eastern Sudan
Abstract
The infection rates of Ehrlichia canis and related species in dogs in eastern Sudan were examined using molecular methods. Among 78 dogs examined, 63 (80.8%), 19 (24.4%), and 26 (33.3%) were positive for E. canis, Anaplasma platys, Mycoplasma haemocanis, and "Candidatus Mycoplasma haemoparvum," respectively. Among these, 30 dogs were single-positive: 25 for E. canis, 2 for A. platys, 1 for M. hemocanis, and 2 for "C. M. haemoparvum." The rest of the dogs (48.7%) were positive for two or more pathogens.
