Abstract excerpt
Five-month-old lambs were experimentally infected with two 16S rRNA genetic variants of Anaplasma phagocytophilum, variants 1 (GenBank accession no. M73220) and 2 (GenBank accession no. AF336220). Additional sequencing of the groESL heat shock operon gene indicated that these variants differ in three nucleotides at positions 782, 824, and 890. The variants were obtained by blood sampling of A....
