AUTHOR'S CORRECTION

Volume 39, no. 1, p. 90-93, 2001. Studies in our laboratory identified a specificity problem with the Ehrlichia equi primers used to generate the partial 16S ribosomal DNA sequence reported in this study. In EDTA-anticoagulated blood samples containing a high concentration of Ehrlichia platys DNA, the E. equi primers induce false priming. If the concentration of E. platys is low or if the sample contains only E. equi organisms, the primers perform as expected. Due to this observation, GenBank accession numbers AF287155 and AF287154 (both originally classified as E. equi) were reclassified as E. platys. Therefore, molecular evidence for E. equi infection in dogs in Thailand and Venezuela was not provided in this study.
