Abstract
ABSTRACT: The present study reports the recurrence of the canine Ehrlichiosis in the city of Cali - Colombia, according to the race, sex and age of the dogs. This is a retrospective type study, in which secondary sources of 101 canine blood samples were used. The samples were analyzed using the ELISA method of a commercial test for the detection of specific antibodies against Erlichiae canis. The results showed that the canines belonging to Labrador, Poodle and Schnauzer breeds showed greater presence of antibodies against the disease. Canines of both sexes, ranging from 6 to 144 months old were affected by the disease. Under the conditions for the present study, it can be concluded that the causing agent for canine Erlichiosis is affecting the canine population in Cali, being the Labrador breed the most affected by the parasite, as well as adult male dogs.
