Anaplasma phagocytophilum Infection in a Child

Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal, 2008
This is the first case of Anaplasma phagocytophilum infection described in Cyprus. A 9-year-old girl was infected after a tick-bite. The infection was diagnosed by molecular-based detection of the bacterium in 2 blood samples. The polymerase chain reaction product was sequenced, revealing a novel strain of Anaplasma phagocytophilum.

The natural history of Anaplasma phagocytophilum

Veterinary Parasitology, 2010
Anaplasma phagocytophilum is the recently designated name replacing three species of granulocytic bacteria, Ehrlichia phagocytophila, Ehrlichia equi and the agent of human granulocytic ehrlichiosis, after the recent reorganization of the families Rickettsiaceae and Anaplasmataceae in the order Rickettsiales.

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.

Anaplasma phagocytophilum subverts tick salivary gland proteins

Trends in Parasitology, 2007
Anaplasma phagocytophilum is a bacterium that is transmitted by Ixodes spp. ticks, in which it resides in salivary glands. Ticks inoculate the pathogen into hosts together with an array of salivary molecules that reduce host anti-tick inflammation. Sukumaran et al. recently showed that A. phagocytophilum uses a tick salivary protein, Salp16, to enhance

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 ...
