| reactivity of sera collected from dogs in mutare, zimbabwe, to antigens of ehrlichia canis and cowdria ruminantium. | six of 20 sera from apparently healthy dogs in mutare, zimbabwe, contained antibodies which were reactive with cowdria ruminantium and ehrlichia canis in indirect fluorescent antibody tests at similar titres. in western blots these sera recognised the immunodominant antigen bands of the two organisms. sera with high titres (> 1/80) recognised additional antigen bands of each organism. it was not possible to determine whether these dogs had been exposed to c ruminantium, e canis or other ehrlichi ... | 1994 | 8073593 |
| western blot and indirect fluorescent antibody testing for antibodies reactive with ehrlichia canis in sera from apparently healthy dogs in zimbabwe. | sera were collected from apparently healthy dogs in 3 major centres in zimbabwe to establish the prevalence of antibodies reactive with ehrlichia canis by indirect fluorescent antibody (ifa) testing at titres of 1/20 or greater. the overall seroprevalence was 42% (39/93) with dogs from mutare (40%) and harare (33%) having similar rates which were lower than those for bulawayo (68%). the majority of the ifa positive dogs from harare (67%) had no haematological or biochemical evidence of canine eh ... | 1993 | 8176682 |
