Article Synopsis
  • Tick-borne infections, particularly Lyme disease, are on the rise in the U.S. and globally, with varying severity from mild to severe symptoms.
  • In a study using susceptible B6 mice, co-infection with Lyme disease and another pathogen caused significant inflammatory responses and joint inflammation, unlike single infections.
  • The results indicate that co-infection can worsen Lyme disease's impact, leading to more severe inflammation and joint issues.

Instituto de Investigación de la Cadena Láctea (IdICaL) CONICET - INTA; Ruta 34 km 227 - CP: 2300 - Rafaela, Santa Fe, Argentina. Electronic address:

The aim of this work was to develop a real-time PCR assay with a TaqMan® probe that detects a species-specific part of the 16S rDNA gene of Ehrlichia canis. Canine blood samples (n = 207), collected and tested by a conventional PCR assay within a study conducted by De Salvo et al., were simultaneously analyzed with the novel designed real-time PCR, and the results of both assays were compared.
