Antibodies against Anaplasma spp. and SFG Rickettsia were determined by indirect immunofluorescence using commercially available slides coated with Anaplasma phagocytophilum and Rickettsiarickettsii antigens.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Infection in humans: Some rickettsial species ( A phagocytophilum, Ehrlichia chaffeensis, Ehrlichia ewingii, Rickettsia conorii, Rickettsiarickettsii, Rickettsia felis, Rickettsia typhi and Candidatus Neoehrlichia mikurensis) are of zoonotic concern.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Disease can be severe, particularly when patients are infected with Rickettsiarickettsii (Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever); patients may develop central nervous system involvement, shock, and multiorgan failure.[oxfordmedicine.com]

Intra-platelet inclusion bodies resembling A. platys were observed in buffy coat smears and A. platys DNA was amplified and sequenced from whole blood; however, treatment with doxycycline did not alleviate their symptoms.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Diagnostic tests are imperfect, and prompt empiric treatment should be initiated if disease is suspected. Doxycycline is the treatment of choice, and coinfection with other vector-borne pathogens may need to be considered.[oxfordmedicine.com]
Tetracyclines are currently available drugs for clearance of infection and treatment in humans and animals. Worldwide vaccine is not yet available.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

These have long been known as etiological agents of veterinary diseases that affect domestic and wild animals worldwide. A zoonotic role has been recognized for A. phagocytophilum, but other species can also be pathogenic for humans.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The former is the etiological agent of canine cyclic thrombocytopenia, while the latter is that of canine granulocytic anaplasmosis.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The etiologic agent of anaplasmosis is Anaplasma phagocytophilum, a rickettsial bacterium. The disease was first recognized during 1993 in several patients from Minnesota and western Wisconsin.[health.state.mn.us]

Because hosts are usually seronegative in the initial phase of infection and serological cross-reactions with several Anaplasma species are observed after seroconversion, direct tests are the best approach for both case definition and epidemiological[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
As is the case for many tick-borne diseases, the epidemiological cycle is associated to the environmental conditions, including the presence of wild vertebrate reservoir hosts, vectors, climate and vegetation.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
BACKGROUND: To better understand the epidemiology of tick-borne disease in Mongolia, a comprehensive seroprevalence study was conducted investigating exposure to Anaplasma spp. and spotted fever group (SFG) Rickettsia spp. in nomadic herders and their[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The frequency of tick-borne pathogens detected in dogs in Maio Island, including R. monacensis, highlights the need to improve diagnosis and control in order to prevent the risk of transmission of these pathogens among dogs and humans living in or travelling[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prevention Typically, cases of anaplasmosis increase in late summer and fall as insect vectors increase. Therefore, control of vectors is key to preventing anaplasmosis.[thecattlesite.com]
Prevention Restricting exposure to potentially infected blacklegged ticks is the key to preventing Anaplasmosis.[gov.mb.ca]
Anaplasmosis and other tickborne diseases can be prevented. “Part of the issue is greater awareness and more testing by people who fall ill.[precisionvaccinations.com]
