An epizootic of canine ehrlichiosis has occurred in military working dogs in Thailand. During the epizootic, 161 cases of ehrlichiosis were identified serologically in a population of 316 dogs, and 54 dogs exhibited clinical signs of disease. The epizootic is being controlled by elimination of ticks, by serologic identification and treatment of carriers with 30 mg/lb body weight/day of tetracycline for 14 days, and by continuous daily prophylactic administration of 3 mg/lb body weight/day of tetracycline. Clinical and serologic recognition of ehrlichiosis among pet dogs in widely separated regions of Thailand suggest that the disease has been endemic in Thailand for an extended time. Under such circumstances it is possible that pet and stray dogs have served as a source of infection for the epizootic in military working dogs.
泰国的军犬中发生了犬埃立克体病的 epizootic。在 epizootic 期间，在 316 只犬的群体中通过血清学鉴定出 161 例埃立克体病病例，54 只犬表现出疾病的临床症状。通过消灭蜱虫、对携带动物进行血清学鉴定并用每磅体重每天 30 毫克四环素治疗 14 天以及每天持续预防性给予每磅体重每天 3 毫克四环素，来控制 epizootic。在泰国广泛分布地区的宠物犬中对埃立克体病的临床和血清学识别表明，该疾病在泰国已长期流行。在这种情况下，宠物犬和流浪犬有可能是军犬 epizootic 的感染源。
