Between 1984 and 2004, nine more species or subspecies of spotted fever rickettsiae were
identified as emerging agents of tick-borne rickettsioses throughout the world. Six of these …

Over recent years, there has been a growing interest in bacteria from the genus Anaplasma,
especially the species A. marginale, A. ovis and A. phagocytophilum. It is connected with the …

The genus Anaplasma belonging to the Anaplasmataceae family (order Rickettsiales)
comprises obligate intracellular Gram-negative bacteria of veterinary and public health …

Background The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) offer optimal climatic conditions for
tick reproduction and dispersal. Research on tick-borne pathogens in this region is scarce …

Abstract The genus Anaplasma (Rickettsiales: Anaplasmataceae) comprises obligate
intracellular Gram-negative bacteria that are mainly transmitted by ticks, and currently …

Ticks transmit a variety of pathogens affecting both human and animal health. In temperate
and cold regions of Europe (Western, Central, Eastern, and Northern Europe), the most …

Organisms in the genus Anaplasma are obligate intracellular pathogens that multiply in both
vertebrate and invertebrate hosts. The type species, A. marginale, causes bovine …

Anaplasma ovis and Anaplasma marginale are tick-transmitted bacteria that cause
anaplasmosis in domestic and wild animals. Recent results show that some domestic and …

Few data are available on the prevalence and molecular ty** of species belonging to the
genus Anaplasma in Mediterranean ruminants. In this study, PCR analysis and sequencing …

Tick-borne diseases affect small ruminants in tropical and subtropical regions. In sheep and
goats, these diseases are not well characterized although breeding of these species is the …
