ANAPLASMA

Anaplasma are zoonotic obligate intracellular alpha-proteobacteria of the family Anaplasmataceae. Ticks serve as the main reservoir and as vectors of anaplasmosis while feeding on both humans and animals. The antibody response to infections by Anaplasma phagocytophilum is primarily directed against outer-membrane protein antigens and is most often detected using standard IFA and MIF methods.Our IFA slides contain infected cells grown in situ within the wells. Our 2-antigen MIF is depicted below, containing purified Ehrlichia chaffeensis and Anaplasma phagocytophilum in each well.
