Genetic diversity of Anaplasma species major surface proteins and implications for anaplasmosis serodiagnosis and vaccine development [PDF]

, 2017
The genus Anaplasma (Rickettsiales: Anaplasmataceae) includes several pathogens of veterinary and human medical importance. An understanding of the diversity of Anaplasma major surface proteins (MSPs), including those MSPs that modulate infection ...

Ticks and tick‐borne bacterial pathogens found on hard ticks (Acari: Ixodidae) on cattle in the Central River region of The Gambia

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 40, Issue 1, Page 91-100, March 2026.
First detection of Ehrlichia minasensis, Anaplasma marginale and hemotropic Mycoplasma spp. in cattle in The Gambia. Identification of four tick species, with Hyalomma marginatum being the most common. 15.6% of ticks tested positive for tick‐borne pathogens, including Ehrlichia spp., A. marginale and hemotropic Mycoplasma spp.

Increased Borrelia burgdorferi Seroprevalence in Nova Scotia—Prevalence and Distribution 10 Years Later

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 73, Issue 2, Page 164-168, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Lyme disease (LD), a tick‐borne infection, is endemic in Nova Scotia. One decade ago, the seropositivity rate to Borrelia burgdorferi was 2/1855 (0.14%). In the current study, using residual sera representing ages 10–64 years, we demonstrate an increase in seroprevalence, to 25/1872 (1.60%), with the highest seroprevalence in the western area ...

Distinct Ecologically Relevant Strains ofAnaplasma phagocytophilum

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2009
To the Editor: Anaplasma phagocytophilum was defined to include Ehrlichia phagocytophila, E. equi, and the agent of human granulocytic ehrlichiosis. Nevertheless, we and others have found phenotypic and genetic differences from diverse regions and hosts and conclude preliminarily that ecologically separate strains might exist that should be ...

Molecular detection of Anaplasma species in dogs in Colombia

Revista Brasileira de Parasitologia Veterinária
Anaplasma platys and A. phagocytophilum are tick-borne pathogens that parasitize platelets and neutrophils, respectively, of humans and animals. The former is the etiological agent of canine cyclic thrombocytopenia, while the latter is that of canine ...

A natural barrier: tick‐repellent potential of a spruce‐derived volatile blend against Hyalomma excavatum and Ixodes ricinus

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 2, Page 1481-1491, February 2026.
Both active and passive questing ticks, Hyalomma excavatum and Ixodes ricinus, were assessed for behavioural responses to two novel plant‐derived repellent volatile organic compound blends. Both tick species were repelled by the products, and both novo blends were significantly more repellent than currently available commercial products.
