Ehrlichia: tick-borne pathogen in canines and humans

Introduction

Observed using light microscopy, this is an image created from a peripheral blood smear of a patient infected with Human Monocytic Ehrlichiosis. This image shows the morulae within the cytoplasm of a monocyte. These morulae are made up of a cluster of E. chaffeensis within a vacuole (Paddock et.al 2003)http://cmr.asm.org/content/16/1/37.full.pdf+html.

Section 1

Include some current research in each topic, with at least one figure showing data.

This image from the CDC illustrates the transmission cycles responsible for the maintenance of E. chaffeensis and E. canis, allowing for the infection of Dogs and humans. http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1471492210000188
