  abstract = {{A} rapid immuno-migration test for the serological detection of canine monocytic ehrlichiosis, {W}itness ({R}) {E}hrlichia ({WE}) ({Z}oetis, {F}rance), was evaluated in 528 serum samples from dogs living in endemic areas of {W}est and {E}ast {A}frica: {S}enegal ({N} = 208), {I}vory {C}oast ({N} = 7), {S}udan ({N} = 27), and {D}jibouti ({N} = 286). {O}f these dogs, 200 were {F}rench military working dogs ({MWD}) temporarily residing in {A}frica. {T}he {WE} test results were compared with those obtained by indirect immunofluorescence ({IFA}). {T}he sensitivity of {WE} was 97% [94.2, 98.7] with a specificity of 100% [98.6, 100]. {I}n {MWD}, the seroprevalence ({IFA}) was 7%; in native dogs, it reached 77.1%. {T}his significant difference can be explained by prophylactic measures from which {MWD} benefit. {T}he {WE} test represents a simple, fast and reliable test for the detection of anti-{E}hrlichia canis antibodies. {I}ts implementation for the diagnosis of clinical cases has been validated in the field, and its use allows easy detection of asymptomatic dogs that may be carriers of {E}. canis.},
