Anaplasmosis in dogs: basic information, diagnosis and treatment methods

Anaplasmosis of dogs (infectious thrombocytopenia) - refers to transmissible diseases.

Abstract Two dogs from Quebec were diagnosed with granulocytic anaplasmosis.

In human granulocytic anaplasmosis, Anaplasma phagocytophilum bacteria infects a type of white blood cell called granulocytes.

In Ehrlichiosis and Anaplasmosis, by definition you must test for both the monocytic and granulocytic

There were 411 cases of anaplasmosis in Maine from January to September 2017.

A disease of cattle caused by parasitization of the red blood cells by bacteria of the genus ANAPLASMA.

In our country (and in the majority of European countries) ticks can send Lyme and Anaplasmosis.

1 The Blacklegged deer tick is responsible for spreading Lyme disease along with several other diseases (Anaplasma, Erhlichia).

On the other hand, indigenous breeds of cattle can develop a natural immunity to several tick-borne diseases (anaplasmosis, babesiosis, cowdriosis).

A human disease, human granulocytic ehrlichiosis (HGE) was renamed as human anaplasmosis in 2003, but this disease is caused by a different micro-organism.

We present a case of triple infection with babesiosis, Lyme disease, and anaplasmosis treated with antibiotics and red blood cell (RBC) exchange (erythrocytapheresis),” explains Kumar.

This test also detects the animals which have Lyme disease, along with two other diseases (Anaplasmosis and Ehrlichiosis) which can be transmitted by ticks.

Anaplasmosis: Caused by the bacterium Anaplasma phagocytophilum; the infection leads to headache, fever and muscle aches, and is rarely life threatening.
