Complete Genome Sequence of Ehrlichia mineirensis a Novel Organism Closely Related to Ehrlichia canis with a New Host Association

摘要

We report here the complete genome sequencing of Ehrlichia mineirensis, an Ehrlichia organism that was isolated from the hemolymph of Rhipicephalus microplus–engorged females. E. mineirensis is the best characterized Ehrlichia isolate from a novel cattle-related clade closely related to the monocytotropic pathogen E. canis.
