Detection of Anaplasma marginale by real time PCR.
Anaplasmosis is a blood cell parasite of cattle with a worldwide distribution, but the disease is most common in tropical and subtropical areas. Anaplasma marginale is the most common organism involved in cattle, and it is transmitted through the bite of Dermacentor spp. ticks or tabanid flies, as well as through the use of blood-contaminated instruments. As a result,…
Bacillus anthracis is a spore-forming, facultative anaerobic, gram positive rod that is the causative agent of anthrax. Spore formation occurs when the vegetative form of the bacteria, found within the animal, is exposed to air upon the animal’s death. The spores then settle into the ground under and around the carcass. The spores are highly resistant…
