Ehrlichia canis is the causative agent of canine monocytic ehrlichiosis (CME). While there is a high prevalence of CME in Thailand, genetic diversity of E. canis is still poorly defined. This study examined the molecular characteristics of E. canis using PCR and phylogenetic analysis of the dsb, gp1...
