| |
| − | ''Anaplasma'' species are '''[[Rickettsiales | rickettsial]] [[Bacteria | bacterial]]''' pathogens that reside within host '''[[Erythrocytes | erythrocytes]]'''.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ''Anaplasmas'' cause '''[[Anaplasmosis]]''' and have worldwide distribution due to their wide range of vectors. Disease is most common in '''tropical''' regions.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ==Lifecycle==
| |
| − | ''Anaplasmas'' are transmitted by a wide range of '''[[Ticks |tick]]''' species and other insects including the '''[[Ceratopogonidae |''Culicoides'' midge]]''' and other [[:Category:Biting Flies|biting flies]].
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Maturation''' can occur only in '''tick''' hosts, flies acting as solely '''mechanical''' vectors.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Infectious bacteria reside and replicate within the '''salivary gland''' of the vector and are transmitted to mammalian hosts during bloodfeeding.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Infected [[erythrocytes]] are disrupted and release bodies which can then invade other erythrocytes. These bodies form '''vacuoles''' within the cytoplasmic membranes of the [[erythrocytes|red blood cells]] and then undergo '''binary fission''' to form dense blue-purple round/cube shaped '''inclusion bodies'''.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | This '''amplifies''' infection within the host and increases the likelihood of transmission when insects bloodfeed.

| |
| − |
| |
| − | ==Pathogenesis==
| |
| − | Anaplasmosis causes '''haemolytic [[Anaemia | anaemia]]''' by damaging [[Erythrocytes | erythrocytes]].
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ==Diseases==
| |
| − | [[Anaplasmosis]] in domestic and wild ruminants and deer causes profound '''anaemia, emaciation, haematuria''' and consequent '''respiratory''' and '''neurological''' signs.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ==''Anaplasma marginale''==
| |
| − | Most (70-80%) inclusion bodies are found at or close to the border of the erythrocyte.
| |
| − | Infects '''cattle''' causing '''severe''' [[Anaplasmosis | anaplasmosis]].
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ==''Anaplasma centrale''==
| |
| − | Infects primarily cattle.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Inclusion bodies tend to be central within the red blood cells.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ==''Anaplasma mesaeterum'' and ''ovis''==
| |
| − | Infect mainly sheep and goats.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Usually cause mild disease only.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Inclusion bodies tend to be central within the red blood cells.
