In a retrospective study, indirect fluorescent-antibody staining methods were used to detect immunoglobulins to Ehrlichia canis and Ehrlichia risticii in canine and equine sera that had originally been analyzed for antibodies to Borrelia burgdorferi. Analyses of 60 dog serum specimens collected in Connecticut and New York State during 1986 revealed antibodies to E. canis in 7 (11.7%) specimens; titration endpoints ranged from 1:40 to 1:320. Three of these dogs had anemia. Of the 187 equine serum specimens obtained in Connecticut during 1985 and analyzed by indirect fluorescent-antibody staining methods, 17 (9.1%) contained antibodies to E. risticii. Maximal antibody titers of 1:1,280 were recorded for serum specimens collected from three equids during May and July. We conclude that canine and equine ehrlichiosis coexist with Lyme borreliosis in Connecticut and the lower Hudson River Valley of New York State.
在一项回顾性研究中，采用间接荧光抗体染色法检测犬和马血清中的犬埃立克体及里氏埃立克体免疫球蛋白，这些血清最初是用于分析抗伯氏疏螺旋体抗体的。对1986年在康涅狄格州和纽约州采集的60份犬血清标本进行分析，发现7份（11.7%）标本中有抗犬埃立克体抗体；滴定终点范围为1:40至1:320。其中3只犬患有贫血。对1985年在康涅狄格州采集并采用间接荧光抗体染色法分析的187份马血清标本进行检测，17份（9.1%）含有抗里氏埃立克体抗体。5月和7月从3匹马采集的血清标本记录到的最高抗体滴度为1:1280。我们得出结论，在康涅狄格州和纽约州哈得逊河谷下游地区，犬埃立克体病和马埃立克体病与莱姆病伯氏疏螺旋体病共存。
