A second-generation, point-of-care immunoassay provided improved detection of Anaplasma and Ehrlichia antibodies in PCR-positive dogs naturally infected with Anaplasma or Ehrlichia species
Richardson, S. S., Mainville, C. A., Arguello-Marin, A., Whalley, D., Burton, W., Breitschwerdt, E. B., & Qurollo, B. A. (2023, May 9). JOURNAL OF VETERINARY DIAGNOSTIC INVESTIGATION, Vol. 5.
author keywords: Anaplasma; dogs; Ehrlichia; immunoassay; point-of-care; serology; tick-borne pathogens
TL;DR:
The second-generation SNAP 4Dx Plus test offered improved serologic detection of Anaplasma and Ehrlichia in naturally infected dogs, and case management decisions might have been different with an immediate anaplasmosis diagnosis, including earlier doxycycline therapy and less hospitalization.
