Ehrlichia muris eauclairensis was recently discovered and has low reporting numbers due to the fact that it is relatively new and because its symptoms are very similar to the symptoms caused by other Ehrlichia bacteria. (wikipedia.org)
The new species, which is genetically very similar to an Ehrlichia species found in Eastern Europe and Japan called E. muris, was identified at a Mayo Clinic Health System hospital in Eau Claire. (wikipedia.org)
Rickettsia2
Ehrlichia and Anaplasma species, members of the family Rickettsiae, are gram-negative, obligate, intracellular coccobacilli that resemble Rickettsia species. (medscape.com)
On August 3, 2011, infection by a yet-unnamed bacterium in the genus Ehrlichia was reported, carried by deer ticks and causing flu-like symptoms in at least 25 people in Minnesota and Wisconsin. (wikipedia.org)
rates of infection of amblyomma americanum (l.) by ehrlichia chaffeensis were compared in 100 ticks collected from sites in each of four states: indiana, north carolina, kentucky, and mississippi. (liverpool.ac.uk)
Infection4
In 2008, human infection by a Panola Mountain (in Georgia, USA) Ehrlichia species was reported. (wikipedia.org)
Experiments in mouse models further support this hypothesis, as mice lacking TNF-alpha I/II receptors are resistant to liver injury caused by Ehrlichia infection. (wikipedia.org)
Dogs infected with Ehrlichia often show lameness, lethargy, enlarged lymph nodes, and loss of appetite during the acute phase, which is one to three weeks after infection. (wikipedia.org)
However, DNA analyses have shown N risticii is most closely related to N helminthoeca , the agent of salmon poisoning in dogs, and Ehrlichia sennetsu , which causes a rare infection in humans in Japan. (merckvetmanual.com)
Initial morphologic studies of this organism isolated from cell culture, as well as the serologic responses of N risticii , caused this bacterium to be assigned to the genus Ehrlichia . (merckvetmanual.com)
Organisms1
Some cases can present with purpura and in one such case, the organisms were present in such overwhelming numbers that in 1991, Dr. Aileen Marty of the AFIP was able to demonstrate the bacteria in human tissues using standard stains, and later proved that the organisms were indeed Ehrlichia using immunoperoxidase stains. (wikipedia.org)
Humans1
In humans, ehrlichia sennetsu is responsible for pneumonia, including rhodococcus equi, an aerobic gram-negative bacilli as causes of death odds ratio is nearly for patients who present with massive thrombosis of renal hypertension in children. (albionfoundation.org)
Species1
In 2009, a new Ehrlichia species was identified in patients in the upper Midwest area. (medscape.com)
Arkansas1
Bifunctional protein FolD OS=Ehrlichia chaffeensis (strain ATCC CRL-10679 / Arkansas) GN=folD PE=3 S. (yeastrc.org)
The ehrlichial gltA genes are 1,197 bp (E. sennetsu and E. risticii) to 1,254 bp (A. marginale and A. centrale) long, and GC contents of the gene vary from 30.5% (Ehrlichia sp. (nih.gov)
Human monocytic1
unknown discolorations of Human Ehrlichial book monetary policy operations are characterized aged featuring Human Granulocytic Ehrlichiosis( HGE), Sennetsu Fever, and Human Monocytic Ehrlichiosis( HME). (mr-smartypants.com)
