Serologic cross-reactivity between Anaplasma marginale and Anaplasma phagocytophilum.
In the context of a serosurvey conducted on the Anaplasma marginale prevalence in Swiss cattle, we suspected that a serological cross-reactivity between A. marginale and A. phagocytophilum might exist. In the present study we demonstrate that cattle, sheep and horses experimentally infected with A. phagocytophilum not only develop antibodies to A. phagocytophilum (detected by immunofluorescent-...
متن کاملDIFFERENCES AND SIMILARITIES BETWEEN Anaplasma marginale AND Anaplasma phagocytophylum
Anaplasma marginale and A. phagocytophilum are intracellular rickettsial pathogens causing bovine anaplasmosis and human granulocytic anaplasmosis, respectively. Effective vaccines for the control of anaplasmosis are not available despite attempts using different approaches, such as attenuated strains, infected erythrocyte and tick cell-derived purified antigens. Recent reports demonstrated tha...
متن کاملDiscrimination Between Anaplasma marginale and Anaplasma ovis by PCR-RFLP
Several tick-borne diseases with different etiological agents such as rickettsia, protozoa, bacteria and viruses can infect domestic ruminants. The only common feature between these diseases is that they can all be transmitted by ticks. Of these, Anaplasma spp. can cause diseases in the livestock with high economical losses. The Giemsa staining of blood smear is the common traditional method fo...
متن کاملThe Pathogen-Occupied Vacuoles of Anaplasma phagocytophilum and Anaplasma marginale Interact with the Endoplasmic Reticulum
The genus Anaplasma consists of tick-transmitted obligate intracellular bacteria that invade white or red blood cells to cause debilitating and potentially fatal infections. A. phagocytophilum, a human and veterinary pathogen, infects neutrophils to cause granulocytic anaplasmosis. A. marginale invades bovine erythrocytes. Evidence suggests that both species may also infect endothelial cells in...
متن کاملAnaplasma phagocytophilum and Anaplasma marginale Elicit Different Gene Expression Responses in Cultured Tick Cells
The genus Anaplasma (Rickettsiales: Anaplasmataceae) includes obligate tick-transmitted intracellular organisms, Anaplasma phagocytophilum and Anaplasma marginale that multiply in both vertebrate and tick host cells. Recently, we showed that A. marginale affects the expression of tick genes that are involved in tick survival and pathogen infection and multiplication. However, the gene expressio...
