Molecular Evidence for Anaplasma phagocytophilum in Israel

摘要

Sequences from the Anaplasma phagocytophilum 16S rRNA gene were detected in 5 ticks representing 3 species (Hyalomma marginatum, Rhipicephalus turanicus, and Bo-ophilus kohlsi) collected from roe deer (Capreolus capreo-lus) in Mount Carmel, Israel. The sequences were all identi-cal to those of Ap-variant 1 strain
