Silva,Gislaine Cristina Ferreira da; Benitez,Aline do Nascimento; Girotto,Aline; Taroda,Alessandra; Vidotto,Marilda Carlos; Garcia,João LuisCanine monocytic ehrlichiosis caused primarily by Ehrlichia canis and canine thrombocytic anaplasmosis induced by Anaplasma platys are important emerging zoonotic tick-borne diseases of dogs. There is evidence that these pathogens can also affect humans. This study evaluated the presence of E. canis and A. platys in blood samples collected from 256 domiciled dogs in the municipality of Jataizinho, located in no...
