Detection of antibodies to Ehrlichia spp. in dromedary camels and co-grazing sheep in northern Kenya using an Ehrlichia ruminantium polyclonal competitive ELISA
A disease with clinical and post-mortem presentation similar to those seen in heartwater, a tick-borne disease of domestic and wild ruminants caused by the intracellular bacterium Ehrlichia ruminantium, was first reported in dromedary camels in Kenya in 2016; investigations carried out at the time t...
