Ehrlichia canis is the primary etiologic agent of canine monocytic ehrlichiosis, a tick-transmitted disease dogs. The aim this study to molecularly investigate presence E. and reveal its prevalence in dogs Siirt province. animal material consisted total 82 A region 16S ribosomal RNA gene was targeted for PCR amplification. As result conducted Nested-PCR, positivity detected at rate 10.53% (4/38) male 13.64% (6/44) females, specific bands size 389 bp were obtained 10 (12.20%) total....

Ticks Rhipicephalus sanguineus of strain Ixodidae family are biological mediators to transfer Rickettsia pathogens such as Ehrlichia and Anaplasma in animals.In the present study, a total 220 ticks were collected from 55 infested dogs.The ticks' taxonomy was carried out through microscopically.Additionally, DNA extraction conducted nested PCR performed differentiate Ehrlischia spp.The obtained results indicates that belong ticks.The showed spp. E. canis more common (50 ticks) than ewingii (3...

This study aimed to determine Hepatozoon canis prevalence in dogs the Siirt province of Turkey by molecular method. The animal material consisted a total 75 that appeared clinically healthy. Two ml blood sample were taken from vena cephalica antebrachii. Then, DNA extraction was performed. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) performed amplify 666 bp 18S rRNA gene region . positive PCR products purified and sequenced. As result Nested-PCR, H. specific bands size obtained 7 (9.33%) out dogs....

Neospora caninum is a coccidian parasite causing abortion in cattle and neurological problems horses. Dogs are definitive hosts of N. caninum.
