متن کاملIntrauterine Transmission of Anaplasma phagocytophilum in Persistently Infected Lambs
Anaplasma phagocytophilum, which causes the disease tick-borne fever (TBF), is the most important tick-borne pathogen in European animals. TBF may contribute to severe welfare challenges and economic losses in the Norwegian sheep industry. The bacterium causes a persistent infection in sheep and several other animal species.

متن کاملCavitary Effusion Associated with Anaplasma phagocytophilum Infection in 2 Equids
A 15-year-old, 558-kg Quarter Horse gelding was examined because of peripheral edema and bicavitary (pleural and abdominal) effusion, identified via field ultrasonography before referral. Two years earlier, the horse was evaluated for a similar clinical presentation, including peripheral edema, bicavitary effusion, and fever. The gelding was diagnosed with Anaplasma phagocytophilum infection by...
متن کاملTick-Borne Fever (Anaplasma phagocytophilum Infection) in Sheep – A Review
Ticks may transmit pathogens to ruminants worldwide, creating diseases such as anaplasmosis, babesiosis, ehrlichiosis and theileriosis. In Europe, the most important tick vector is Ixodes ricinus and the most widespread tick-borne infection in animals is Anaplasma phagocytophilum. This infection causes tick-borne fever (TBF) in ruminants, a disease which may not only cause suboptimal growth, bu...
