| anaplasma odocoilei sp. nov. (family anaplasmataceae) from white-tailed deer (odocoileus virginianus). | recently, an undescribed anaplasma sp. (also called ehrlichia-like sp. or wtd agent) was isolated in ise6 tick cells from captive white-tailed deer. the goal of the current study was to characterize this organism using a combination of experimental infection, morphologic, serologic, and molecular studies. each of 6 experimentally inoculated white-tailed deer fawns (odocoileus virginianus) became chronically infected (100+ days) with the anaplasma sp. by inoculation of either infected whole blood ... | 2012 | 23276749 |
| assessment of a quantitative 5' nuclease real-time polymerase chain reaction using groel gene for ehrlichia and anaplasma species in rodents in brazil. | new genotypes of anaplasmataceae agents have been detected in wild carnivores, birds and deer in brazil. the present work aimed to investigate the presence of ehrlichia and anaplasma species in rodents sampled in brazil. additionally, a newly designed quantitative 5' nuclease real-time multiplex pcr for ehrlichia and anaplasma spp. detection based on groel gene amplification was designed, showing high specificity and sensitivity (10 groel fragment copy/μl). between 2000 and 2011, different roden ... | 2017 | 28457822 |
| investigating the adult ixodid tick populations and their associated anaplasma, ehrlichia, and rickettsia bacteria at a rocky mountain spotted fever hotspot in western tennessee. | ehrlichiosis and rickettsiosis are two common bacterial tick-borne diseases in the southeastern united states. ehrlichiosis is caused by ehrlichiae transmitted by amblyomma americanum and rickettsiosis is caused by rickettsiae transmitted by amblyomma maculatum and dermacentor variabilis. these ticks are common and have overlapping distributions in the region. the objective of this study was to identify anaplasma, ehrlichia, and rickettsia species associated with questing ticks in a rocky mounta ... | 2017 | 28598270 |
