  "summary": "Heartwater, caused by the tick-borne bacterium Ehrlichia ruminantium, threatens ruminant production in sub-Saharan Africa and the Caribbean. Serological surveillance relies on species-specific ELISAs, so wildlife and camelids, which are potential reservoirs or sentinels, have no validated tools. We developed and evaluated a pan-species indirect ELISA prototype (ID Screen Ehrlichia ruminantium…",
