''Anaplasma'' is a genus of rickettsiales bacteria. Anaplasmas reside in host blood cells and lead to the disease anaplasmosis. The disease most commonly occurs in tropical areas of the world.〔(Anaplasmas ) reviewed and published by WikiVet, accessed 10 October 2011.〕 Anaplasmas require intermediate tick hosts (eg. Dermacentor ) for maturation, and flies may act as mechanical vectors.〔 One of the major consequences of infection by red blood cells infecting Anaplasma is the development of haemolytic anaemia due to the damage done to red blood cells.〔 Species of veterinary interest include: *''Anaplasma marginale'' and ''Anaplasma centrale'' in cattle *''Anaplasma mesaeterum'' and ''Anaplasma ovis'' in sheep and goats〔 * ''Anaplasma phagocytophilum'' in dogs, cats and horses (also infects people) ==Genomes== The genomes from at least three different ''Anaplasma'' species have been sequenced.〔(Anaplasma genomes in the JGI genome browser )〕 These genomes are about 1.1 to 1.2 MB in size and encode 925 to 1,335 proteins. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Anaplasma」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
