Abstract: Background: A new species of Ehrlichia, phylogenetically distant from E. ruminantium, was found in 2010 infecting cattle in Canada. In 2012 and 2013, we reported the in vitro propagation, molecular and ultrastructural characterization of Ehrlichia sp. UFMG-EV (E. mineirensis), a new species of Ehrlichia isolated from the haemolymph of Brazilian Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus ticks. A new organism, named Ehrlichia sp. UFMT-BV, closely related to Ehrlichia sp. UFMG-EV, was recently described in Brazil and a… Show more

“…Some Ehrlichia species, however, have also been found to infect humans (i.e., E. canis , E. ruminantium , E. chaffeensis , and E. ewingii ) (2, 3). Recently, we reported the in vitro culture (4), molecular (5), and morphological (6) characterization of Ehrlichia minasensis strain UFMG-EV T (7), a novel Ehrlichia species that appears to have evolved from a highly variable strain of E. canis (8). Another E. minasensis strain (UFMT-BV) was found to be pathogenic for cattle in Brazil (9).…”

“…UFMG-EV T and Ehrlichia sp. UFMT-BV evolved recently from a highly variable clade of E. canis under adaptive diversifying selection (Cabezas-Cruz et al, 2014). This suggested that Ehrlichia sp.…”
