摘要: Bovine anaplasmosis, caused by the intracellular rickettsia Anaplasma marginale, is endemic in several areas of United States and has continued to impact cattle production. While considerable research been done over past decades, control strategies for anaplasmosis have advanced minimally since first vaccine was marketed US 1960s. However, these findings contribute our overall understanding complexity bovine anaplasmosis. With advent molecular biology, host/pathogen interactions are currently better defined classification reorganized include organisms addition those that host-specific ruminants. In this review, current status discussed with aim providing insight practitioners on future challenges management, diagnosis, This review focuses updated information genus related organisms, developmental cycle A. marginale ticks, role male ticks transmission diversity strains, wildlife reservoirs potential influence climate change epidemiology serious disease. A second will follow which issues diagnosis Overall, goal reviews provide an knowledge veterinarians answers frequently asked questions.
