Analysis of the 16S rRNA Gene Sequence ofAnaplasma centraleand Its Phylogenetic Relatedness to Other Ehrlichiae
1 Mar 2001
Abstract excerpt
The nucleotide sequence of the Anaplasma centrale 16S rRNA gene was determined and compared with the sequences of ehrlichial bacteria. The sequence of A. centrale was closely related to Anaplasma marginale by both level-of-similarity (98.08% identical) and distance analysis. A species-specific PCR was developed based upon the alignment data. The PCR can detect A. centrale DNA extracted from 10 infected bovine red...
