Veterinary Clinical Pathology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT A 3‐year‐old female‐intact German Shepherd presented for the evaluation of progressive shifting leg lameness, carpal swelling, and weight loss with a poor appetite since adoption about three months prior. Routine blood smear evaluation, lymph node, and synovial fluid cytologies all revealed rare neutrophils with cytoplasmic inclusions ...

Anaplasma phagocytophilum infection in horses in the Netherlands
Veterinary Record, 2008 EQUINE granulocytic anaplasmosis is a tickborne disease caused by the obligate intracellular bacterium Anaplasma phagocytophilum (previously Ehrlichia equi ), which can elicit febrile disease in animals and human beings ([Dumler and others 2001][1]).

Veterinary Clinical Pathology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT A 1‐year‐old female‐intact arctic fox (Vulpes lagopus) presented for diarrhea, lethargy, severe thrombocytopenia, and hyperbilirubinemia. Blood film evaluation revealed intracytoplasmic coccoid bacteria within moderate numbers of leukocytes consistent with infection by a rickettsial organism.

Diversity ofAnaplasma phagocytophilumStrains, USA
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2009 We analyzed the structure of the expression site encoding the immunoprotective protein MSP2/P44 from multiple Anaplasma phagocytophilum strains in the United States. The sequence of p44ESup1 had diverged in Ap-variant 1 strains infecting ruminants. In contrast, no differences were detected between A.

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.

Public Health Challenges, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.ABSTRACT Bacteria of the order Rickettsiales comprise a diverse group of obligate intracellular microorganisms that are globally distributed and highly prevalent in tropical and subtropical regions. In South America, these bacteria have been associated with arthropod vectors, such as ticks, fleas, mites, lice, and certain dipterans, as well as with a ...

Anaplasma phagocytophilum–infected Ticks, Japan
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2005 We report Anaplasma phagocytophilum infection of Ixodes persulcatus and I. ovatus ticks in Japan. Unique p44/msp2 paralogs (and/or 16S rRNA genes) were detected in tick tissues, salivary glands, and spleens of experimentally infected mice. These findings indicate the public health threat of anaplasmosis in Japan.

Tick‐Tac‐Foe: When Ticks, Trade, and Zoonotic Pathogens Align in African Wet Meat Markets
Public Health Challenges, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.ABSTRACT Zoonotic diseases account for over ∼60% of infectious diseases and present a significantly growing fatality threat in Africa. Live and wet markets (LWMs) in Africa function as key economic venues that support human livelihoods through social interaction and trade in food stuff, including meat and other animal‐based products.

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.

Detection of Anaplasma phagocytophilum in wild boar in Slovenia [PDF]
Clinical Microbiology and Infection, 2009 Human granulocytic anaplasmosis (HGA) comprises a group of emerging tick-borne infectious diseases and it is caused by the intracellular bacteria, Anaplasma phagocytophilum. Infections with Anaplasma spp. have been described in humans and animals. Many studies have been performed to elucidate the natural cycle of A.
