Bovines Sheep Goat Equine ANAP - KIT TAQVET ANAPLASMA PHAGOCYTOPHILUM

ANAPLASMOSIS

Anaplasmosis is a virulent, non-contagious disease caused by bacteria of the genus Anaplasma (small Gram negative bacteria) which parasitize blood cells. Infection is transmitted by a tick from a carrier to a healthy animal. Prevention focuses on vector control and the disease is treated with antibiotics.
Anaplasma marginale proliferates in red blood cells but Anaplasma species that were formerly assigned to the genus Ehrlichia (including Anaplasma phagocytophilum or Ehrlichia equi, the causative agent of human granulocytic anaplasmosis) have a tropism for granulocytes and, to a lesser extent, lymphocytes and monocytes.
Anaplasmosis due to Anaplasma marginale (bovine anaplasmosis): a severe disease in bovines and many other large ruminants (buffalo, fallow deer, deer, camel) but infection is silent in sheep and goats. It causes severe anaemia, abortion, weight loss and jaundice, and can be fatal. Survivors of the acute phase of the disease become carriers of the bacterium for life. Bovine anaplasmosis is a ubiquitous disease but in Europe, it is mainly found in the countries around the Mediterranean basin. It is of limited importance in France.
Anaplasmosis due to Anaplasma phagocytophilum: called "tick fever" in ovines and "pasture fever" in bovines, the disease is endemic and seasonal, manifesting as high fever, anorexia, lethargy lasting a few days, weight loss and a drop-off in milk production. Other possible symptoms are respiratory problems, abortion and male infertility. The incubation period is 3-6 days in ovines and 4-17 days in bovines. Although the disease is rarely fatal, the animals carry the bacterium for months and the associated profound, sustained immunosuppression predisposes them to secondary infection. The infection is most common in Europe but has also been reported in India and South Africa. The disease naturally affects ruminants, both wild (cervids and bovids) and domesticated (notably sheep and cows).
