Resumo: The present work describes the detection of infected cells in the bone marrow aspirates of dogs experimentally infected with a Brazilian isolate of Ehrlichia canis. Dogs were monitored twice a day by clinical evaluation and peripheral blood smear examination. Every three days, blood samples were collected for cell counts. Weekly, aspirates from the bone marrow were examined and serum samples were tested by IFAT. The clinical signs observed were fever, pallid membranes, lymphadenopathy, serous nasal secretions, and pronounced weight loss. Hematological alterations included normocytic normochromic anemia, decrease of neutrophils and lymphocytes, and thrombocytopenia. Few E. canis infected cells were seen in blood smears. However, stages of E. canis were visualized in bone marrow aspirates 15 days post infection.
