Qurollo B, Stillman B, Beall M, Foster P, Hegarty B, Breitschwerdt E, et al.
Am J Vet Res . 2020 Dec; 82(1):71-80. PMID: 33369490
Objective: To compare the performance of 5 synthetic peptide-based ELISAs with that of 3 commercially available immunofluorescent assays (IFAs) for serologic diagnosis of anaplasmosis and ehrlichiosis in dogs. Sample: A...

Neupane P, Hegarty B, Marr H, Maggi R, Birkenheuer A, Breitschwerdt E
J Vet Intern Med . 2018 Oct; 32(6):1958-1964. PMID: 30307643
Background: Because of poor sensitivity and questionable specificity of immunofluorescent antibody assays (IFAs), serological diagnosis of Bartonella species infections in dogs remains challenging. Despite limitations, IFA testing is the historical...

Hegarty B, Qurollo B, Thomas B, Park K, Chandrashekar R, Beall M, et al.
Parasit Vectors . 2015 Jun; 8:320. PMID: 26062723
Background: With the exception of Bartonella spp. or Cytauxzoon felis, feline vector-borne pathogens (FVBP) have been less frequently studied in North America and are generally under-appreciated as a clinical entity...

ONion V, Montilla H, Qurollo B, Maggi R, Hegarty B, Tornquist S, et al.
Emerg Infect Dis . 2015 Jan; 21(2):335-8. PMID: 25625228
Ehrlichia sp. DNA was amplified from 4 Ehrlichia-seroreactive horses from Mérida, Nicaragua. Sequencing of 16S rDNA, sodB, and groEL genes indicated that the bacterium is most likely a novel Ehrlichia...

Qurollo B, Chandrashekar R, Hegarty B, Beall M, Stillman B, Liu J, et al.
Infect Ecol Epidemiol . 2014 Nov; 4. PMID: 25405006
Introduction: Tick-borne pathogens cause a spectrum of disease manifestations in both dogs and humans. Recognizing regional and temporal shifts in exposure are important as tick distributions change. To better delineate...

Yancey C, Hegarty B, Qurollo B, Levy M, Birkenheuer A, Weber D, et al.
Vector Borne Zoonotic Dis . 2014 Oct; 14(10):724-32. PMID: 25325316
Vector-borne disease (VBD) pathogens remain an emerging health concern for animals and humans throughout the world. Surveillance studies of ticks and humans have made substantial contributions to our knowledge of...

Am J Trop Med Hyg . 2014 Oct; 91(6):1161-5. PMID: 25266347
This article presents two case reports of Anaplasma platys detection in two women from Venezuela. Both patients were exposed to Rhipicephalus sanguineus, the presumed tick vector, and experienced chronic, nonspecific...

Breitschwerdt E, Hegarty B, Qurollo B, Saito T, Maggi R, Blanton L, et al.
Parasit Vectors . 2014 Jul; 7:298. PMID: 24984562
Background: Anaplasmosis, caused by Anaplasma phagocytophilum and Anaplasma platys, and ehrlichiosis, caused by Ehrlichia chaffeensis, Ehrlichia ewingii, the "Panola Mountain Ehrlichia" and Ehrlichia muris-like pathogens have been identified as emerging...

Parasit Vectors . 2014 Mar; 7:127. PMID: 24670154
Background: Canine vector-borne diseases (CVBD) are caused by a diverse array of pathogens with varying biological behaviors that result in a wide spectrum of clinical presentations and laboratory abnormalities. For...

Vet Immunol Immunopathol . 2013 Oct; 156(1-2):153-8. PMID: 24120155
The lack of a suitable infection model remains an important obstacle for the pathophysiological understanding of Bartonella spp. The following pilot study was designed to determine whether cell culture-grown Bartonella...
