Complete genome sequencing of <i>Anaplasma marginale</i> reveals that the surface is skewed to two superfamilies of outer membrane proteins

Abstract excerpt
The rickettsia Anaplasma marginale is the most prevalent tick-borne livestock pathogen worldwide and is a severe constraint to animal health. A. marginale establishes lifelong persistence in infected ruminants and these animals serve as a reservoir for ticks to acquire and transmit the pathogen. Within the mammalian host, A. marginale generates antigenic variants by changing a surface coat composed of numerous...
