| Spanish abstract | Anaplasma marginale y A. phagocytophilum son rickettsias intracelulares que causan anaplasmosis bovina y anaplasmosis granulocítica humana, respectivamente. Aún no existe una vacuna efectiva para el control de la anaplasmosis, a pesar de haber sido utilizados con este fin cepas atenuadas, eritrocitos infectados y antígenos purificados, derivados de células de garrapatas. Reportes recientes han demostrado que A. marginale y A. phogocytophilum coexisten en áreas geográficas, que infecciones concurrentes pueden ocurrir en rumiantes y garrapatas y que existen similitudes y diferencias a nivel molecular entre estos dos microorganismos. El objetivo de este trabajo es realizar una comparación entre las principales características de A. marginale y A. phagocytophilim |
| English abstract | Anaplasma marginale and A. phagocytophilum are intracellular rickettsial pathogens causing bovine anaplasmosis and human granulocytic anaplasmosis, respectively. Effective vaccines for the control of anaplasmosis are not available despite attempts using different approaches, such as attenuated strains, infected erythrocyte and tick cell-derived purified antigens. Recent reports demonstrated that A. marginale and A. phagocytophilum co-exist in geographic areas, that concurrent infections may occur in ruminants and ticks and that there are similarities and differences at molecular level between both species. The aim of this article is to make a comparison between the main characteristics of Anaplasma marginale and Anaplasma phagocytophilum |
