muris-like agent (EMLA) was identified as a causative agent of
human ehrlichiosis for 3 symptomatic patients in Wisconsin and 1 in Minnesota (2).
While in 1987 in USA, the first case of
human ehrlichiosis was reported but in subsequent 20 years it has become the most prevalent life-threatening tick borne disease.

Fishbein, "Serologic diagnosis of
human ehrlichiosis using two Ehrlichia canis isolates," Journal of Infectious Diseases, vol.
(25) Ehrlichia ewingii is known to cause a mild febrile illness in humans and may account for as much as 7% of all
human ehrlichiosis cases in the United States.
It can cause the Heartland virus and
human ehrlichiosis, both of which can be moderately severe to life threatening for humans, he said.
Changes in T wave and ST elevation (Malik et al., 2005); tachycardia and ST elevation (Havens et al., 2012) in
human ehrlichiosis have also been reported.
This project may hopefully become a model for future studies on the efficacy of prevention methods for tick-borne diseases in the U.S., such as Lyme disease, human babesiosis, human anaplasmosis, Rocky Mountain spotted fever,
human ehrlichiosis, tick-borne relapsing fever, Powassan encephalitis, and Colorado tick fever.
phagocytophilum for
human ehrlichiosis, it is common for persons afflicted with Babesia to have concurrent infections.
However, there is not yet any data about
human ehrlichiosis causing CTP.
* MDHHS conducted a review of available data on tick burden in the state and reviewed the clinical and public health surveillance data for physician-reported
human ehrlichiosis and anaplasmosis during 2000-2008.
