Query: NC_004842:1132441 Anaplasma marginale str. St. Maries, complete genome

Lineage: Anaplasma marginale; Anaplasma; Anaplasmataceae; Rickettsiales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria

General Information: This strain was recovered from an acutely infected cow from Northern Idaho, USA and bears an msp1a genotype of JBB. This strain is transmitted by ticks and is known to be virulent. This organism is the causative agent of bovine anaplasmosis and is an obligate intracellular pathogen. Transmission occurs via an arthropod vector (tick) and is a major problem in tropical regions where it causes severe morbidity in cattle populations. The bacterium lives intracellularly within membrane-bound vesicles in the host erythrocyte, a cell type which it specifically targets, resulting in severe anemia for the host organism.

Subject: NC_013532:85371 Anaplasma centrale str. Israel, complete genome

Lineage: Anaplasma centrale; Anaplasma; Anaplasmataceae; Rickettsiales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria

General Information: The Anaplasma centrale Israel strain was established in the 1950's upon acquisition of the strain from South Africa where it was first identified. Anaplasma centrale infects the red blood cells of cattle and, in many parts of the world, is used as a live vaccine against the more virulent Anaplasma marginale which causes anaplasmosis.
