Abstract excerpt
Anaplasma phagocytophilum is an obligate intracellular bacterial parasite of verterbrate granulocytes. This bacterium is the aetiologic agent of human granulocytic anaplasmosis. The msp2 gene encoding major surface protein 2 is unique for Anaplasma and displays high antigenic variation. A fragment of the msp2 gene (334 bp) of A. phagocytophilum, amplified with DNA isolated from Ixodes ricinus, Syringophilidae,...
