mortality/aging
• following infection with a monocytotropic Ehrlichia bacteria from Ixodes ovatrus ticks (IOE), 70% of mice survive a low dose but all mice succumb to a high dose
|
immune system
• following infection with a monocytotropic Ehrlichia bacteria from Ixodes ovatrus ticks (IOE), the number of interferon-gamma producing CD4+ Th1 cells in the spleen on day 8 and day 12 is increased relative to in infected wild-type mice
|
• following infection with a low dose of IEO, CD8+ T cells in the spleen are reduced (1.2%+/-0.2% of splenocytes compared to 8.0%+/-0.4% of splenocytes in wild-type mice)
|
• mice have lower burdens of Ehrlichia bacteria in the lungs and spleen following infection than do wild-type mice
• at day 12 and 14 post-infection with a lethal low dose of IEO, mice exhibit only mild liver pathology, few apoptotic foci in the liver and preserved lymphoid tissue cellularity

hematopoietic system
