  • Title: [Tick-borne fever (Ehrlichia phagocytophila infection) on a dairy farm in Friesland].
    Author: Siebinga JT, Jongejan F.
    Journal: Tijdschr Diergeneeskd; 2000 Feb 01; 125(3):74-80. PubMed ID: 10680205.
    Abstract:
    Disease outbreaks, associated with ixodid ticks, among cows on a dairy farm in Friesland, in the north of the Netherlands, were monitored during the summers of 1996, 1997, and 1998. The most important symptoms were a sudden drop in milk yield, fever, apathy, and problems with locomotion. The diagnosis 'tick-borne fever' was confirmed by finding Ehrlichia phagocytophila inclusion bodies in neutrophils of blood smears from sick animals. Significant economic losses due to the disease were recorded each year. Borrelia burgdorferi, although transmitted by the same tick, did not seem to be involved. Further research on tick-borne fever is of particular relevance in connection with recent E. phagocytophila cases diagnosed in dogs and in a human patient in the Netherlands.
