Abstract (en)

Anaplasma phagocytophilum is the causative pathogen of granulocytic anaplasmosis in many species. To assess the role of the red deer as possible reservoirs for this zoonotic infection in Lithuania and Norway, we have investigated the prevalence of A. phagocytophilum in free-ranging and captive red deer. In this study, spleen samples from 143 red deer (Cervus elaphus) individuals, collected from 12 different farms in Norway and samples of 110 free ranging red deer individuals from Lithuania, were analysed for presence of A. phagocytophilum DNA by real-time, nested and single PCR, using msp2, msp4, 16S rRNA and ankA genes. Different A. phagocytophilum variants were identified.
