Molecular assay reagents intended to identify Ehrlichia chaffeensis, a bacterium of the family Rickettsiaceae, by detecting specific genetic information of the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) of the target bacteria. These bacteria are an etiologic agent of monocytic ehrlichiosis in humans (i.e., they attack monocytes, a type of white blood cell).
