Anaplasmosis

Kubelova, M., Mazancova, J., Siroky, P. 2012. Theileria, Babesia, and Anaplasma detected by PCR in ruminant herds at Bié Province, Angola

• Anaplasmosis caused by Anaplasma marginale was diagnosied via PCR. PCR primers targeted the msp4 gene which encodes a surface protein. This gene is highly conserved in A. marginale strains from China, Israel, and the African field samples tested in this study. PCR products were run on a gel to identify positive and negative results.
