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%. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
