--- The goal of the present research was to determinate the presence of seropositivity of Ehrlichia canis (E. canis) and Ehrlichia chaffeensis (E. chaffeensis) in veterinaries or subjects involved in veterinary activities and had been exposed to animals with canine ehrlichiosis in Lima, to which it was used 90 samples of serum blood of subjects with the previous characteristics, 55 males and 35 females. The 90 serums were evaluated using indirect immunofluorescence (IIF) using plates with OH82 cells (canine monocites) infected with E. canis and E. chaffeensis, and positive and negative controls. It was found that 21 (23,33%) and 18 (20%) serums were positive to E. canis and E. chaffeensis, respectively. The seropositivity of E. canis in males and females was 21,8% (12/55) and 25.7% (9/35), respectively. Moreover, the seropositivity found for E. chaffeensis in men and women was 18,2 % (10/55) and 22,86% (8/35), respectively; founding a smooth difference between both, but the same as for E. canis, when using Chi square test, no statistic difference was found, therefore the seropositivity found is indistinct to sex. Having in consideration that ehrlichiosis is a emergent zoonotic disease and the results found, is advisable to begin epidemiologic and control researches of ehrlichiosis in Peru. Key words: Ehrlichia canis, Ehrlichia chaffeensis, indirect immunofluorescence
