Practical relevance: Granulocytic anaplasmosis is a disease in humans and animals caused by the Gram-negative bacterium Anaplasma phagocytophilum within the family Anaplasmataceae. The pathogen is transmitted by ticks of the Ixodes species. Infections with A phagocytophilum have often been...

Feline anaplasmosis is considered as an emerging tick-borne disease of zoonotic potential. The aim of current study was to investigate the molecular prevalence of anaplasmosis, associated risk factors, and alterations in hematological parameters of domestic cats from Lahore, Pakistan. Blood samples ...

Objectives: Anaplasma phagocytophilum is considered the most significant rickettsial pathogen affecting cats. The organism is transmitted by ticks of the species Ixodes ricinus in Central Europe and can cause granulocytic anaplasmosis in pets, wildlife and humans. The aims of this study were to...

Anaplasmosis is a collective name for all tick-borne diseases caused by the bacteria of the Anaplasma genus. Anaplasmosis in domestic animals include granulocytic anaplasmosis in cats and dogs, anaplasmosis in horses, and tick-borne fever in ruminants caused by A. phagocytophilum, cyclic...

The aim of this paper was to describe anaplasmosis in cats. Anaplasma phagocytophilum is an emerging pathogen of cat transmitted by Ixodid ticks. Recent studies suggest that multiple strains of A. phagocytophilum may be circulating in wild and domestic animal populations and these strains may have...

Anaplasma genus infects the blood cells of humans and animals by biting, causing zoonotic anaplasmosis. However, limited data are available on carrier animals for Anaplasma spp. antibodies in the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau Area. Therefore, a serological indirect ELISA diagnostic method based on the...

Objectives: Anaplasma phagocytophilum is an Ixodes species-transmitted rickettsial organism that is occasionally associated with clinical abnormalities in humans, ruminants, horses, dogs and cats. While serological evidence of A phagocytophilum exposure is common in cats in Ixodes species endemic...

Species of the genus Anaplasma, in the family Anaplasmatacae, are responsible to vector-borne diseases that affecting animals and humans. Feline anaplasmosis is poorly reported in Brazil. This study aimed at investigating the occurrence of Anaplasma spp. in domestic cats from Greater Rio de...

Background: With the exception of Bartonella spp. or Cytauxzoon felis, feline vector-borne pathogens (FVBP) have been less frequently studied in North America and are generally under-appreciated as a clinical entity in cats, as compared to dogs or people. This study investigated selected FVBP...

Anaplasmosis and ehrlichiosis are bacterial diseases transmitted by ticks, listed therefore in the vector-borne disease group, affecting a wide of animal species, including humans. In Italy, Anaplasma phagocytophilum, Anaplasma platys and Ehrlichia canis are the causative agents of the respective...
