摘要: A rapid immuno-migration test for the serological detection of canine monocytic ehrlichiosis, Witness® Ehrlichia (WE) (Zoetis, France), was evaluated in 528 serum samples from dogs living endemic areas West and East Africa: Senegal (N=208), Ivory Coast (N=7), Sudan (N=27), Djibouti (N=286). Of these dogs, 200 were French military working (MWD) temporarily residing Africa. The WE results compared with those obtained by indirect immunofluorescence (IFA). sensitivity 97% [94.2, 98.7] a specificity 100% [98.6, 100]. In MWD, seroprevalence (IFA) 7%; native it reached 77.1%. This significant difference can be explained prophylactic measures which MWD benefit. represents simple, fast reliable anti-Ehrlichia canis antibodies. Its implementation diagnosis clinical cases has been validated field, its use allows easy asymptomatic that may carriers E. canis.
