Abstract
A new isolate of Ehrlichia species has been obtained from a patient suffering from ehrlichiosis. The new isolate has been found to be similar, but distinctly different from E. canis. The new isolate is E. chaffeensis and is contained in a cell line of canine macrophage cells on deposit with the American Type Culture Collection under accession number CRL 10679. The new isolate must be contained in a cell line in order to remain viable but may be isolated from the cell line. However, the isolate will not remain viable outside of the cell line. A diagnostic kit and methods for diagnosing ehrlichiosis in humans and for screening drugs toxic to the new isolate have also been desclosed.
