Abstract
Dogs, clinically suspected for E. canis infection were screened for the presence of antibodies to E. canis using indirect flourescent antibody test. Out of 172 sera tested, 118 (68.6%) were found to be positive. The important clinical manifestation exhibited by the seropositive dogs include pyrexia, depression, weight loss, anorexia or selective appetite, bleeding disorders, lymphnode enlargement and tick infestation. There was no significant difference in the percentage of seropositive reactions among different breeds, age groups or sexes.
