This study was extended for 2 years and covered different seasons of the years 2021 and 2022. The study was aiming at investigating the prevalence of Canine Ehrlichiosis disease among dogs. A total of 599 dogs from different breeds, ages and different localities of Khartoum State were investigated for the presence of Canine Ehrlichiosis. According to the results of E. canis Ab – Bio Note- Canine Rapid Test for the detection of Canine Ehrlichiosis, the prevalence of Canine Ehrlichiosis in Khartoum State was 5.6%. Male and female dogs were susceptible for Canine Ehrlichiosis with the prevalence of 2.8% and 2.8% respectively. Dogs of all ages were susceptible for the disease. According to ANOVA analysis, the mean infection in autumn is higher than that in winter or summer but there was no statistical significant difference (p-value= 0.685) in Canine Ehrlichiosis among the three seasons. According to Chi-2 test, cross breed dogs were more susceptible for Canine Ehrlichiosis in Khartoum State. Eighty-eight-point two percent of Canine Ehrlichiosis cases respond for the treatment trials with Doxycycline. This is the first study concerning investigation of Canine Ehrlichiosis in Khartoum State. Vaccination and Deworming programs against different diseases are recommended for dogs in Khartoum State.
