VirB10 vaccination for protection against Anaplasma phagocytophilum [PDF]

BMC Microbiology, 2018
Human granulocytic anaplasmosis (HGA) is a tick-borne disease caused by the etiologic agent Anaplasma phagocytophilum. HGA was designated a nationally notifiable disease in the United States in 1998. Currently there are no vaccines available against HGA.

The enigmatic case of Lipoptena sp. in the Bosco della Mesola Nature Reserve (Italy)

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
This is the first report of Lipoptena andaluciensis in Italy, confirmed morphologically and genetically. The presence of L. andaluciensis in Italy dates back many years; it was found on cervids in lowland habitats. A re‐examination of the previous report of the Italian L. fortisetosa is needed.

A 4-year study of Anaplasma phagocytophilum in Portugal [PDF]

Clinical Microbiology and Infection, 2009
Anaplasma phagocytophilum has traditionally been regarded as a worldwide veterinary tick-borne bacterium, and more recently as an emerging human pathogen causing human granulocytic anaplasmosis (HGA) [1]. The growing interest in this agent in Europe [2], along with its detection in Portugal, has signalled the need for detailed study that addresses the ...

Detection of Anaplasma phagocytophilum and Babesia aktasi in a wild bezoar goat (Capra aegagrus): Overlap with domestic goat strains

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
This study provides the first molecular detection of tick‐borne pathogens in Capra aegagrus. Genetic analysis reveals similarities between Babesia aktasi and Anaplasma phagocytophilum strains in bezoar and domestic goats, indicating potential pathogen exchange.

Human Granulocytic Anaplasmosis andAnaplasma phagocytophilum

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2005
Human granulocytic anaplasmosis is a tickborne rickettsial infection of neutrophils caused by Anaplasma phagocytophilum. The human disease was first identified in 1990, although the pathogen was defined as a veterinary agent in 1932. Since 1990, US cases have markedly increased, and infections are now recognized in Europe.

Essential Domains of Anaplasma phagocytophilum Invasins Utilized to Infect Mammalian Host Cells [PDF]

, 2015
Anaplasma phagocytophilum causes granulocytic anaplasmosis, an emerging disease of humans and domestic animals. The obligate intracellular bacterium uses its invasins OmpA, Asp14, and AipA to infect myeloid and non-phagocytic cells.
