	<SPAN style=\"FONT-FAMILY: ; FONT-SIZE: 10pt\" ?><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">The serum of foxes and red deer from the Province of Soria (northern Spain) was screened in indirect immunofluorescence assays to determine whether these animals could be used as sentinels of the tick-borne pathogens </span><i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Anaplasma phagocytophilum</span></i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> and </span><i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Ehrlichia chaffeensis</span></i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">. The results suggest that foxes and red deer would not make good sentinels in epidemiological studies on </span><i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">E. chaffeensis</span></i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> in this region, although red deer could be used as such for the study of </span><i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">A. phagocytophilum</span></i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> transmission.</span></span>
