Figure 3. Attempted transmission of E. canis to dogs by R. sanguineus nymphs fed as larvae during post-acute phase CME.

Figure 3

R. sanguineus larvae placed on dogs ACJ, ABH and AHL at 53 dpi (prior to antibiotic treatment) were allowed to feed as nymphs on dogs AFI, ALW and BAH, respectively, as a test of transmission. The E. canis-specific p30-based PCR assay was used to test semiweekly buffy coat samples collected from each dog up to 24 days post-tick attachment (indicated by numerals). Labels are as described for Figure 1.
