Wild Boars as Hosts of Human-Pathogenic<i>Anaplasma phagocytophilum</i>Variants
3 May 2012
Abstract excerpt
To investigate the potential of wild boars to host Anaplasma phagocytophilum, we analyzed bacterial 16S rRNA and ank genes. DNA sequencing identified several A. phagocytophilum variants, including a predominance of strains known to cause human disease. Boars are thus hosts for A. phagocytophilum, notably, strains associated with human granulocytic anaplasmosis.
