The AnaSpp MONODOSE dtec-qPCR contains individual ready-to-use tubes containing all the necessary components for the detection of Anaplasma spp. by qPCR. Anaplasma is a genus of rickettsial bacteria belonging to the family Ehrlichiaceae. Anaplasmas reside in the host’s blood cells and lead to anaplasmosis. An intermediate tick host is required for maturation. One of the main consequences of infection by red blood cells infecting Anaplasma is the development of hemolytic anemia due to the damage caused to red blood cells. The disease occurs most frequently in tropical areas of the world. Some species of the genus of veterinary interest include A. marginale, A. centrale in cattle; A. mesaeterum, A. ovis in sheep and goats and A. phagocytophilum in dogs, cats and horses. A. phagocytophilum can also infect humans.
