Reservoir Competence of Vertebrate Hosts for Anaplasma phagocytophilum

Reservoir Competence of Vertebrate Hosts for Anaplasma phagocytophilum

Fourteen vertebrate species (10 mammals and 4 birds) were assessed for their ability to transmit Anaplasma phagocytophilum, the bacterium that causes human granulocytic anaplasmosis, to uninfected feeding ixodid ticks. Small mammals were most likely to infect ticks but all species assessed were capa...
