Anaplasma phagocytophilum in livestock and small rodents

Veterinary Microbiology, 2010
To identify the prevalence of Anaplasma phagocytophilum in both wild rodents and domestic animals and to make clear the genetic characteristics of the agents from different animals in China, a total of 105 livestock and 159 small rodents were analyzed by real-time-PCR and sequence analysis.

Anaplasma phagocytophilum Infection in Cattle in France

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2006
Abstract:  Anaplasma phagocytophilum is the agent of pasture fever or tick‐borne fever, a disease of ruminants and humans in the United States and in Europe. Although several hundred cases have been suspected to occur in cattle in France, none has yet been microbiologically confirmed.

Laboratory Maintenance of Anaplasma phagocytophilum

Current Protocols in Microbiology, 2006
AbstractAnaplasma phagocytophilum is the etiologic agent of human granulocytic anaplasmosis (formerly human granulocytic ehrlichiosis), an emerging and potentially deadly disease in the United States, Europe, and Asia. A. phagocytophilum is an obligate intracellular bacterium that displays a unique tropism for neutrophils.

Anaplasma phagocytophilum in Ruminants in Europe

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2006
Abstract:  The agent that causes tick‐borne fever (TBF) in sheep was first described in 1940, 8 years after the disease was first recognized in Scotland. The same agent was soon shown to cause TBF in sheep and pasture fever in cattle in other parts of the UK, Scandinavia, and other parts of Europe.

Molecular detection of Anaplasma phagocytophilum-like Anaplasma spp. and pathogenic A. Phagocytophilum in cattle from South Korea

Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 2018
Anaplasma phagocytophilum is the causative agent of human granulocytic anaplasmosis and tick-borne fever in domestic ruminants. Differential diagnosis of zoonotic and pathogenic tick-borne diseases like granulocytic anaplasmosis is important for the efficient implementation of control programs. Thus, the differentiation of pathogenic A. phagocytophilum

Anaplasma phagocytophilum in Sheep

2016
Sheep are grazers and thus come into direct and indirect contact with other ruminants and wildlife including insects and arachnids in their natural environment. In Europe, the lambing season coincides with the period in which ticks are reviving from dormancy in the spring.

Haemorrhagic Diathesis in a Ram with Anaplasma phagocytophilum Infection

Journal of Comparative Pathology, 2011
A 10-month-old ram with fever, inappetence and haemorrhagic diathesis had petechiae and ecchymoses at various body sites and was infested by ticks. Haematological examination revealed pancytopenia, while serum biochemistry indicated hepatic dysfunction. Blood smears were negative for Ehrlichia spp. and other haemoparasites.

Mechanisms of evasion of neutrophil killing by Anaplasma phagocytophilum

Current Opinion in Hematology, 2006
This review summarizes recent knowledge regarding the strategies employed by Anaplasma phagocytophilum to evade or subvert neutrophil killing mechanisms and modify other neutrophil pathways to promote its survival.A. phagocytophilum evades neutrophil oxidative killing by preventing fusion of cytochrome b558-carrying specific granules and secretory ...

Human Exposure to Anaplasma phagocytophilum in Portugal

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2006
Abstract:  A retrospective study to detect Anaplasma phagocytophilum antibodies by indirect immunofluorescence (IFA) and Western blot (WB) assay was conducted in 367 potentially exposed patients from Portugal. The study included 26 patients with confirmed Lyme borreliosis (LB), 77 with suspected LB, 264 seronegative patients studied for possible tick ...

Reservoir Competency of Goats for Anaplasma phagocytophilum

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2006
Abstract:  The susceptibility of goats to infection by Anaplasma phagocytophilum (A. phagocytophilum) strains Ap‐Variant 1 and Ap‐ha was assessed by infestation of goats with field‐collected Ixodes scapularis (I. scapularis) ticks. Both strains were infectious in the goat model.
