|q1= What cells do Anaplasma spp. reside in within their hosts?
|a1=
*Erythrocytes
|l1=Anaplasmas#Introduction
|q2= What vectors do Anaplasmas use?
|a2=
*Ticks
*Culicoides midges
*Biting flies
|l2=Tick Disease Transmission
|q3= What role do flies play in transmission of Anaplasmas?
|a3=
*They are mechanical vectors only, no development occurs within the fly.
|l3=Anaplasmas#Distribution
|q4= What amplifies Anaplasma infection within the host?
|a4=
*Formation of inclusion bodies within the erythrocytes
|l4=Anaplasmas
|q5=What are the common clinical signs of Anaplasma infection?
|a5=
*Haemolytic anaemia
*Emaciation
*Haematuria
*Respiratory signs
*Neurological signs
|l5=Anaplasmosis#Clinical Signs
|q6= What are the main differences between A. marginale, A. centrale, A mesaeterium and A. ovis?
|a6=
*A. marginale forms inclusion bodies at the borders of the erythrocytes.
*A. centrale forms inclusion bodies in the centre of the erythrocytes.
*Both A. marginale and A.centrale cause disease primarily in cattle which can be severe.
*A. mesaeterium and A. ovis infect mainly sheep, causing mild disease.
