Infection by Anaplasma phagocytophilum Requires Recruitment of Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol by Flotillins

mBio, 2019
Anaplasma phagocytophilum is an obligatory intracellular bacterium that proliferates in membrane-bound inclusions. A. phagocytophilum is dependent on cholesterol and acquire cholesterol from low-density lipoprotein (LDL) endocytosed by mammalian host ...

Anaplasma phagocytophilumin White-tailed Deer

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2005
We examined the reservoir potential of white-tailed deer for Anaplasma phagocytophilum. Results suggest that white-tailed deer harbor a variant strain not associated with human infection, but contrary to published reports, white-tailed deer are not a reservoir for strains that cause human disease.

Anaplasma phagocytophilumfrom Rodents and Sheep, China [PDF]

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2010
To characterize the strains of Anaplasma phagocytophilum in wild and domestic animals in China, we isolated the organism from rodents and sheep in northeastern China. We isolated 3 strains (2 from rodents and 1 from sick sheep) through propagation in BALB/c mice and then cell culture in HL60 cells.

Vasculitis associated with Ehrlichia canis and Babesia canis in a dog in the Netherlands

Veterinary Record Case Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract This report describes a case of severe, sudden‐onset, widespread vasculitis affecting a dog concurrently infected by Ehrlichia canis and Babesia canis. Following diagnostic investigations, the dog was suspected of an immune‐mediated vasculitis, possibly triggered by E. canis, B. canis or their combination. The lesions completely resolved after

Preliminary study of natural reservoirs as sentinels of Anaplasma phagocytophilum and Ehrlichia chaffeensis in Soria, northern Spain [PDF]

, 2013
The serum of foxes and red deer from the Prov- ince of Soria (northern Spain) was screened in indirect immunofluorescence assays to deter- mine whether these animals could be used as sentinels of the tick-borne pathogens Anaplas- ma phagocytophilum and ...

Invasion and survival strategies ofAnaplasma phagocytophilum [PDF]

Cellular Microbiology, 2003
Anaplasma phagocytophilum is an aetiological agent of human granulocytic ehrlichiosis, an emerging tick-borne zoonosis in the United States and Europe. This obligate intracellular bacterium is unique in that it colonizes polymorphonuclear leucocytes (neutrophils). Neutrophils are key players in innate immunity.

Resolution of pancytopenia in a dog infected with Bartonella rochalimae in association with antibiotic therapy

Veterinary Record Case Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Fever, non‐regenerative anaemia and leukopenia were documented in a 7‐year‐old, entire, male Akita Inu dog. The serum biochemistry and urinalysis were unremarkable. Tests for infectious agents were negative, except for SNAP 4Dx seropositive for Anaplasma phagocytophilum or A. platys. PCR for Anaplasma spp. was negative.

Emerging tick-borne infections in mainland China: an increasing public health threat [PDF]

, 2015
Since the beginning of the 1980s, 33 emerging tick-borne agents have been identified in mainland China, including eight species of spotted fever group rickettsiae, seven species in the family Anaplasmataceae, six genospecies in the complex Borrelia ...
