Abstract

We investigated the prevalence of Ehrlichia canis (E. canis) (n = 601) and Anaplasma phagocytophilum (A. phagocytophilum) (n = 460) infection by means of real-time PCR from blood of Italian dogs. The prevalence of E. canis in northern, central, and southern Italy was 2.9%, 8%, and 9.7%, respectively. The prevalence of A. phagocytophilum was 0%.
