Molecular detection of Anaplasma platys in a naturally-infected cat in Brazil.

Show other versions (1)

Following the accidental finding of inclusion bodies similar to Anaplasma platys in a stained blood smear from a cat, DNA analysis of the 16S rRNA gene was performed and 100% identity was found with different strains of A. platys. These data confirm that cats are susceptible to parasitism by A. platys. In the present study, a natural infection by A. platys in a cat is reported for the first time in the state of Pernambuco, in northeastern Brazil, using molecular tools to confirm the identity of the pathogen.
