Ultrastructure of Ehrlichia mineirensis, a new member of the Ehrlichia genus
Original language description
Recently, we reported the in vitro isolation and the molecular characterization of a new species of Ehrlichia (Ehrlichia mineirensis) from haemolymph of Brazilian Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus ticks. This organism shows an ortholog of Ehrlichia canis major immunogenic protein gp36 with a new structure of tandem repeats. In the present study, we used electron microscopy (high pressure freezing and freeze substitution preparative techniques) to characterize morphologically this new agent growing inIDE8 tick cells. The results showed that E. mineirensis shares ultrastructural features with other members of the genus Ehrlichia (Ehrlichia muris, E. canis and Ehrlichia chaffeensis); typical parasitophorous vacuoles (morulae) contain electron-dense andreticulated Ehrlichiae embedded inside a fibrillar matrix. We observed the characteristic Gram-negative-type cell wall composed of both cytoplasmic and rippled outer membrane. We found organisms undergoing binary fission and rarely alter
