• Ehrlichia species are obligately intracellular pathogens and are transported between cells through the host cell filopodia during initial stages of infection, whereas in the final stages of infection, the pathogen ruptures the host cell membrane. (wikipedia.org)
  • Ehrlichia chaffeensis is a small, gram negative, obligately intracellular bacterium that preferentially infects mononuclear phagocytes. (frontiersin.org)
  • 2003 The Ehrlichia genome contains many different variants of genes that encode outer membrane proteins, which have gone through intense modification over long periods of time. (wikipedia.org)
  • Despite its small genome and limited number of effector proteins, Ehrlichia efficiently establishes an intracellular infection and avoids immune defenses in vertebrate and invertebrate hosts through complex molecular and cellular reprogramming strategies. (frontiersin.org)
  • The species is known as Ehrlichia Wisconsin HM543746. (wikipedia.org)
  • 2001 Ehrlichia sennetsu (Misao and Kobayashi 1956) Ristic and Huxsoll 1984 The following species have been published, but are not valid according to the Bacteriological Code: "Ehrlichia japonica" Lin et al. (wikipedia.org)
  • 2021 "Ehrlichia ovina" Moshkovski 1945 "Ehrlichia platys" French and Harvey 1983 The following species have been published as candidatus species: "Candidatus Ehrlichia corsicanum" Cicculli et al. (wikipedia.org)
  • The survival of Ehrlichia depends greatly on the immune response of its host. (wikipedia.org)
  • In this review, we discuss the recent advances in our understanding of the molecular and cellular mechanisms that underlie Ehrlichia host cellular reprogramming strategies that enable intracellular survival. (frontiersin.org)
  • The infection, which is caused by members of the genus Anaplasma, an obligate intracellular rickettsia-like bacterium related to the genus Ehrlichia, is characterized by repetitive cycles of rickettsemia at 6- to 8-week intervals. (medscape.com)
  • Ehrlichia species are obligately intracellular pathogens and are transported between cells through the host cell filopodia during initial stages of infection, whereas in the final stages of infection, the pathogen ruptures the host cell membrane. (wikipedia.org)
  • Members of the order Rickettsiales of the class Alphaproteobacteria are Gram‐negative, obligately intracellular bacteria transmitted primarily by arthropod vectors. (veteriankey.com)
  • 2001 Ehrlichia sennetsu (Misao and Kobayashi 1956) Ristic and Huxsoll 1984 The following species have been published, but are not valid according to the Bacteriological Code: "Ehrlichia japonica" Lin et al. (wikipedia.org)
  • In the 2000s, new rickettsial pathogens of veterinary importance that have been identified include Ehrlichia minasensis, Neorickettsia findlayensis, and Ehrlichia japonica . (veteriankey.com)
  • These organisms were phenotypically most closely related to the genus Pantoea (F. Gavini, J. Mergaert, A. Beji, C. Mielearek, D. Izard, K. Kersters, and J. De Ley, Int. J. Syst. (microbiologyresearch.org)
