ASYMPTOMATIC EHRLICHIOSIS STUDY OF THE EL ECTROPHORESIS OF SERUM-PROTEINS

Of 100 clinically healthy dogs, 89 were found to be sero-positive for I.F.I. in relation to E. canis. The antibody titre varied between 1/80 and greater-than-or-equal-to 1/1280. A statistical analysis showed th at the Ab. titer. was linearly correlated with the following: the P.T. S., the beta- and the gamma- globulins.
