Th e study was a prospective trial, planned to determine the molecular epidemiology of ehrlichiosis in dogs through blood smear microscopy and Polymerase chain reaction (PCR). A total of 384 cephalic blood samples were collected from domestic (n=288) and stray dogs (n=96) belonging to varied demographics. Molecular detection of Ehrlichia spp. was c...

The order Rickettsiales in the class Alphaproteobacteria comprises vector-borne pathogens of both medical and veterinary importance. Ticks, as a group, are second only to mosquitoes as vectors of pathogens to humans, playing a critical role in the transmission of rickettsiosis. In the present study, 880 ticks collected from Jinzhai County, Lu'an Ci...
