Molecular Identification of Ehrlichia canis in Rhipicephalus Sanguineus Ticks from Siirt Province

This study was performed on Ehrlichia canis positive ticks collected from dogs to perform sequencing of their 16S rRNA genetic section using the PCR method. The collection of ticks was performed from a total of 60 dogs in the Siirt province, Turkey. A total of 250 ticks were collected and morphologi...
