| Anaplasma marginale and A. phagocytophilum are intracellularrickettsial pathogens causing bovine anaplasmosis and human granulocyticanaplasmosis, respectively. Effective vaccines for the control ofanaplasmosis are not available despite attempts using differentapproaches, such as attenuated strains, infected erythrocyteand tick cell-derived purified antigens. Recent reports demonstrated that A. marginale and A. phagocytophilum co-exist in geographic areas, that concurrent infections may occur in ruminants and ticks and that there are similarities and differences at molecular level between both species. The aim of this article is to make a comparison between the main characteristics of Anaplasma marginale and Anaplasma phagocytophilum. |
