Wild Boars as Hosts of Human-Pathogenic Anaplasma phagocytophilum Variants - Vol. 18 No. 12 - December 2012
Suggested citation for this article To the Editor: Michalik et al. ( 1 ) reported a 12% prevalence of Anaplasma phagocytophilum , the causative agent of human granulocytic anaplasmosis and tick-borne fever of ruminants, in wild boars in Poland. A. phagocytophilum has been reported with low prevalence among wild boar in the Czech Republic, Slovenia ( 2 ), and Japan ( 3 ).Introduction Materials and methods Results Discussion Conclusions Acknowledgements

UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA - 2012 - Ehrlichia and Anaplasma in Florida
Cynthia C. Lord and C. Roxanne Rutledge Connelly 2 Ehrlichia and Anaplasma are related bacterial genera containing species that can cause disease in both humans and domestic animals. The diseases are often referred to simply as ehrlichiosis or anaplasmosis, but there are multiple species of bacteria that can cause different disease symptoms and have different vectors. The taxonomy (naming system and how they are related) was recently revised.Rev. Bras. Parasitol. Vet., Jaboticabal, v. 20, n. 1, p. 1-12, jan.-mar. 2011 Ehrlichiosis in Brazil

Emergence and reemergence of many tropical pathologies have recently aroused the interest of many fields of the study of tropical medicine, even including new infectious agents. Then evidence-based information in the field and regular updates are necessary.

In the latest Case Record of the Massachusetts General Hospital , a 60-year-old man from coastal New England was admitted to this hospital because of fever, weakness, rash, and renal failure. An initial measurement of creatine kinase was 20,437 U per liter. A diagnostic test was performed.
Obligate intracellular bacteria of the Rickettsiales order have evolved to colonize both arthropod and mammalian hosts, but few details are known about the bacterial adaptations that occur during transmission from blood-feeding arthropods to mammals. Here we apply proteomics and transcriptome sequencing to Anaplasma phagocytophilum , the agent of human granulocytic anaplasmosis, in Ixodes scapularis tick salivary glands, to detect proteins or genes expressed by the pathogen during transmission feeding by the tick. We detected expression of 139 genes, representing 11% of the open reading frames (ORFs) in the A. phagocytophilum genome.
J. Bacteriol. May 2012 vol. 194 Postgenomic Analyses Reveal Development of Infectious Anaplasma phagocytophilum during Transmiss
If the rising risks of Lyme disease , Anaplasmosis or Babesiosis weren't reasons enough to take extra precautions while outdoors this summer -- and to do a thorough tick check before going back inside -- researchers have now identified yet another unpleasant tick-transmitted disease. A still unnamed, tick-borne bacterium appears to have transmitted ehrlichiosis to at least 25 people in Wisconsin and Minnesota, with more cases likely unaccounted for due to the flu-like symptoms common among other diseases that pass through ticks, according to a new paper published on Thursday in the New England Journal of Medicine . The discovery builds on evidence of the increasing number of infectious diseases spread from wildlife to humans, researchers say. Bats are currently transmitting the deadly Hendra virus among horses and humans in Australia while rodents scatter hantavirus across the U.S. -- most recently taking lives in New Mexico and Washington State .
