You should seek the advice of your veterinarian if your pet is ill as only he or she can correctly advise on the diagnosis and recommend the treatment that is most appropriate for your pet. Ehrlichia are transmissible from animals to humans, and so Ehrlich iosis is a Zoonotic disease Ehrlichiosis is caused by an intracellular Rickettsial parasite that is transmitted by tick bites. Ehrlichial species usually infect one or more of three types of cell within the body : Monocytes Granulocytes Thrombocytes There is one species that infects other cells in cattle. At least seven species have been reported to infect dogs, but in the UK the most likely species to be seen in imported dogs include : E.canis - worldwide - infect monocytes E.phagocytophila - Britain, Europe, Africa and Asia - infect granulocyytes - "tick-borne fever" Following transmission of the organism from the saliva of an infected tick there is an incubation period during which the organism spreads in the body's cells and this can last between 1-3 weeks. Ehrlichiosis results in multiple organ system involvement and clinical signs vary from very mild to severe non-specific signs : Anorexia Changes in eye colour - sometimes more severe eye disease eg uveitis, retinal haemorrhage/detachment

New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene Bureau of Communicable Disease Human Ehrlichiosis What is human ehrlichiosis? Ehrlichiosis is a tick-borne infection caused by bacteria of the genus Ehrlichia. Two types of ehrlichiosis are common in the northeastern United States: granulocytic ehrlichiosis (HGE) and monocytic ehrlichiosis (HME). These diseases are named for the type of white blood cell they most commonly infect. There were three cases of Ehrlichiosis reported among New York City residents in 2001 (rate of 0.04 per 100,000 persons). How is ehrlichiosis spread? Ehrlichiosis is spread by the bite of an infected tick. HGE is transmitted by the blacklegged tick, Ixodes scapularis, while HME is transmitted by the lone star tick, Amblyomma americanum . Neither of these ticks are common in New York City. Blacklegged ticks may become infected with the HGE agent when feeding on mice or possibly deer and elk. The transmission risk to humans is greatest during the spring and summer, when nymphal ticks are in greatest abundance. Adult Ixodes ticks occasionally feed on humans, so infection can occur in fall and winter when adult ticks are abundant. Lone star ticks become infected with the HME agent when feeding on white tailed deer, but only adults of this tick species commonly feed on humans. Adult

Human ehrlichiosis is a newly recognized disease in the United States. The first human case in the U.S. was reported in 1986. However, prior to 1986 the bacterium was known to infect and cause illness in a wide variety of wild and domestic animals. Who gets ehrlichiosis? Anyone can become infected with Ehrlichia , although most cases have occurred among adults. Individuals who spend a lot of time outdoors in tick infested areas from April through October are at greatest risk of becoming infected. How is ehrlichiosis spread? Ehrlichiosis is spread by the bite of an infected tick. In New Jersey, the most commonly infected ticks are the deer tick, the dog tick, and the lone star tick. Ehrlichiosis is not spread from person-to-person. What are the symptoms of ehrlichiosis? The most common symptoms are fever, headache, muscle aches and weakness. Some patients can also experience nausea, vomiting and a skin rash. Although the illness is usually mild, severe to life-threatening illnesses can occur. How soon do symptoms occur?

Ehrlichiosis was first described in dogs in 1935 and was not recognized as a human disease until the last half of the 20th century. Bacteria of the genus Ehrlichia cause a variety of diseases, both in humans and animals. Scientists continue to discover new species and to recognize different ways they cause disease. The bacteria are spread to humans through tick bites. What are the symptoms of ehrlichiosis? What does ehrlichiosis cause? Regardless of the species causing the infection, the symptoms and signs are similar. The diseases range anywhere from no symptoms, to an illness so mild that no medical attention is sought, to a severe, life-threatening condition. Most cause an abrupt onset of illness with fever, chills, headache, and malaise (a general ill feeling), usually beginning about 12 days after the tick bite. Patients may also experience confusion, nausea, vomiting, and joint pain. Some patients develop a rash involving the trunk and limbs. Severely ill patients can develop abnormally low numbers of white blood cells, abnormally low numbers of platelets, and kidney failure.

Featured Diseases 4. EHRLICHIOSIS Two previously unknown tick-borne diseases have been discovered in the past decade: Human monocytic erhlichiosis (HME) and human granulocytic ehrlichiosis (HGE) . The agents are bacteria that live inside monocytes and granulocytes, two types of circulating white blood cells. Since 1964, more than 400 confirmed cases of HME, and 170 cases of HGE have been reported, including some from northern California. Many were first thought to be Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. Ehrlichia body inside a stained monocyte HME is caused by a bacteria named Ehrlichia chaffeensis , and HGE by another bacteria closely related to Ehrlichia equi . Similar agents cause severe disease in animal populations. The still undiscovered source of the human infections may involve domestic (HGE) and wild mammals (HME). Many cases of E. equi infection have been recorded from horses in Marin and Sonoma counties, but there is no formal reporting system so the actual numbers are not known. In one study site in the Sonoma Valley, workers found E. equi

Ehrlichia chaffeensis HME is a systemic disease characterized by fever, headache, myalgia, anorexia, and chills, and frequently accompanied with leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, anemia, and elevations in serum hepatic aminotransferases. The severity of the disease varies from asymptomatic seroconversion to death, and severe morbidity is frequently documented. More than 1,500 probable or confirmed cases of HME have been reported primarily in the southeastern and south central regions since the original discovery of the disease in 1986. In certain geographic regions, the incidence exceeds that of Rocky Mountain spotted fever, most known rickettsial (rickettsia is the closest relative of Ehrlichia spp. and vector-borne) disease in the U.S. HME has been also reported in Europe and Africa.

Ehrlichiosis by Holly Frisby, DVM Veterinary Services Department Canine ehrlichiosis is a disease of dogs and wild canids (e.g., wolves) and is found worldwide. Canine ehrlichiosis is also known by other names such as "tracker dog disease", "tropical canine pancytopenia", "canine hemorrhagic fever", and "canine typhus". It affected a large number of military dogs in the war in Vietnam. What causes ehrlichiosis? Ehrlichiosis can be caused by several organisms including Ehrlichia canis E. equi E. platys E. ewingii , and possibly others. The Ehrlichia organisms are what we call rickettsia which on the evolutionary scale are between bacteria and viruses. How is Ehrlichia transmitted? Ehrlichia is transmitted by the brown dog tick, Rhipicephalus sanguineus . The immature form of the tick feeds on an animal infected with Ehrlichia . When these immature forms or a mature form of the tick feeds on another animal, the Ehrlichia is passed on to that animal. The Ehrlichia can remain alive in the developing tick for up to 5 months. This means a tick could become infected in the fall, and infect a dog the following spring.

Ehrlichiosis is a disease that affects a variety of animals including human beings; caused by obligatorily intracellular bacteria belonging to the genus Ehrlichia (Classification in Fig. 1 ). There are several species assigned to this genus and those for which the vectors are known are transmitted by ixodid ticks. Ehrlichial organisms infect predominantly white blood cells of their vertebrate hosts; one exception is Ehrlichia platys which infects dog platelets. The organisms appear in clusters known as morulae in the cytoplasm of infected cells. Ehrlichial organisms are classified as agranulocytic ( Fig.2 ) or granulocytic ( Fig.3 ) based on the cells they infect and one that infect platelets ( Fig.4 ). The species currently assigned to the genus Ehrlichia are as follows: Figure 1 Figure 2 Figure 3 Figure 4 Ehrlichia canis (Donatien and Lestoquard 1935), Moshkovski 1945 Ehrlichia canis was the first ehrlichial organism to be discovered and is the type species of the genus. E. canis has worldwide distribution and is the cause of canine agranulocytic ehrlichiosis. This organism is known to be transmitted transtadially by the brown dog tick

(pronounced air lick ee OH sis A. Human ehrlichiosis is a tick-borne illness that is caused by an extremely small type of bacteria known as "ehrlichiae". Human ehrlichiosis is a generic term for a group of diseases known collectively as "human ehrlichioses," so named because they are each caused by a different species of ehrlichiae. Ehrlichiae invade, and live within, white blood cells. They belong to the family Rickettsiaceae, genus Ehrlichia History Ehrlichiosis was first recognized in 1935 as a disease of dogs (canine ehrlichiosis) caused by Ehrlichia canis. In the 1960s, a number of military guard dogs stationed in Vietnam died from this disease. Human ehrlichiosis is a more recently recognized illness. In the United States, the first diagnosed case occurred in 1986 in a 51-year-old man from Detroit who had been exposed to ticks in a rural area of Arkansas. In 1990, the agent of human ehrlichiosis was isolated from the blood of a U.S. Army reservist at Fort Chaffee, Arkansas. The new species of ehrlichiae was named E. chaffeensis

94. March '97 - Canine Ehrlichiosis Canine ehrlichiosis. March, 1997. Several ticks. Another bacterial infection, ehrlichiosis, has some similarities to Lyme Disease. http://www.espomagazine.com/vet/mar97.htm

Canine Ehrlichiosis March, 1997 Several months ago, my article dealt with Lyme Disease, a bacterial infection spread by ticks. Another bacterial infection, Ehrlichiosis, has some similarities to Lyme Disease. It is tickborne, can cause chronic debilitating disease and can be contracted by both dogs and humans. Unlike Lyme Disease, it is carried by only one species of tick, the Brown Dog Tick. In the U.S., it is found in the West, the Southwest and the Southeast. There is an interesting progression of signs in dogs infected with the bacteria Ehrlichia canis. After an acute phase of disease, the signs resolve on their own, and then the chronic phase starts with similar or different signs than those seen during the acute phase. The acute phase starts 1-3 weeks after infection occurs and may last 2-4 weeks. Signs are usually nonspecific and include lethargy, fever and poor appetite. During the subclinical phase, signs have resolved but some abnormalities can still be detected on bloodwork. This chase usually lasts 1-2 months, but can be longer. The chronic phase be characterized by mild signs, if the immune system responds appropriately, but more often, this phase involves severe illness. Many of the clinical signs seen during the chronic phase are due to decreased bone marrow production of blood cells. This can include red blood cells (leading to anemia), white blood cells (leading to susceptibility to infection) and platelets (leading to bleeding tendencies). Other possible signs include enlarged lymph nodes. eye abnormalities, neurologic signs and arthritis.
