Abstract:
The present study aimed to perform molecular characterization of Ehrlichia canis populations in dogs residing in underexplored regions of southeastern Brazil, and to investigate the phylogenetic and haplotypic relationships of 16S-rDNA sequences obtained from hosts across five different continents. As a result, two lineages of E. canis were identified, with the potential to significantly contribute to the understanding of the genetic diversity of this species. The analyses in a global perspective revealed extensive genetic diversity both within and among localities, as well as variations among hosts, marking the first comprehensive exploration of the evolutionary relationships of this species on a global scale.
