Abstract
A serological survey of antibodies to Ehrlichia canis was performed on 423 dogs. The indirect fluorescence antibody test was employed. For t his purpose mouse-dog hybridoma cells infected with Ehrlichia canis we re used. Eighty-five dogs were found positive. The study tested 25 dog s with clinical signs suggestive of a rickettsial infection. Twenty-th ree of them had antibodies to E. canis.
