Abstract：In order to understand the prevalence of Canine Ehrlichiosis disease in Shenzhen,Guangdong Province in the first half of 2022,738 serum samples from pet dogs were collected in various districts of Shenzhen.Commercialized enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)antibody detection kits and colloidal gold antibody detection kits were used for serological testing of Canine Ehrlichiosis disease.The result is that out of 738 samples,15 of the ELISA test results showed positive antibodies against Canine Ehrlichiosis,and 13 of the colloidal gold test results showed positive antibodies against Canine Ehrlichiosis.The difference in results between the two test methods is not significant(x2=0.146,df=1,P>0.05).Among the districts in Shenzhen,6 districts tested positive,while 4 districts did not.There is a significant difference in the positivity rate between the ELISA test results of each district(x2=63.01,df=9,P<0.05),the positive rate in Dapeng District is as high as 21.74%,which may be related to the lifestyle of most dogs in Dapeng District being kept in captivity,Reminder us that prevention and control should pay more attention to areas where dogs are kept.However,there is no significant difference between dogs of different age groups and breeds(x2=0.252,df=3,P>0.05)(x2=12.519,df=12,P>0.05).There is no significant relationship between the age group and breed of dogs infected with Canine Ehrlichiosis.
