Phylogeographic analysis reveals association of tick-borne pathogen, Anaplasma marginale, MSP1a sequences with ecological traits affecting tick vector performance
Estrada-Pena, Agustin; Naranjo, Victoria; Acevedo-Whitehouse, Karina; Mangold, Atilio J.; Kocan, Katherine M.; de la Fuente, Jose (BioMed Central, 2009-09-01)Background: The tick-borne pathogen Anaplasma marginale, which is endemic worldwide, is the type species of the genus Anaplasma (Rickettsiales: Anaplasmataceae). Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus is the most important ... -
Presence of common antigens, including major surface protein epitopes, between the cattle (intraerythrocytic) and tick stages of Anaplasma marginale
Palmer, Guy H.; Kocan, Katherine M.; Barron, Selwyn J.; Hair, Jakie A.; Barbet, Anthony F.; Davis, William C.; McGuire, Travis C. (American Society for Microbiology, 1985-12)Epitopes of major surface proteins of the intraerythrocytic cattle stage of Anaplasma marginale were demonstrated in the midgut stage of the organism within the infective tick host Dermacentor andersoni. These proteins ... -

Fuente, Jose de la; Kocan, Katherine M.; Garcia-Garcia, Jose Carlos; Blouin, Edmour F.; Board of Regents/Oklahoma State University and the A & M Colleges (U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, 2005-12-27)Vaccines and methods for inducing an immune response in a ruminant. The vaccine composition including pathogen and tick-derived antigens and a carrier or diluent. The method for inducing an immune response in a ruminate ... -
Sequence analysis of the msp4 gene of Anaplasma phagocytophilum strains
de la Fuente, Jose; Massung, Robert F.; Wong, Susan J.; Chu, Frederick K.; Lutz, Hans; Meli, Marina; von Loewenich, Friederike D.; Grzeszczuk, Anna; Torina, Alessandra; Caracappa, Santo; Mangold, Atilio J.; Naranjo, Victoria; Stuen, Snorre; Kocan, Katherine M. (American Society for Microbiology, 2005-03)The causative agent of human granulocytic ehrlichiosis was recently reclassified as Anaplasma phagocytophilum, unifying previously described bacteria that cause disease in humans, horses, dogs, and ruminants. For the ... -
Serologic Survey and Genetic Characterization of a "Less-Virulent" Isolate of 'Cytauxzoon Felis' in Domestic Cats
Wagner, Rhonda Mischelle (2001-12-01) -
Silencing of genes involved in Anaplasma marginale-tick interactions affects the pathogen developmental cycle in Dermacentor variabilis
Kocan, Katherine M.; Zivkovic, Zorica; Blouin, Edmour F.; Naranjo, Victoria; Almazan, Consuelo; Mitra, Ruchira; de la Fuente, Jose (BioMed Central, 2009-07-16)Background: The cattle pathogen, Anaplasma marginale, undergoes a developmental cycle in ticks that begins in gut cells. Transmission to cattle occurs from salivary glands during a second tick feeding. At each site of ... -
Studies of a Human Isolate of Anaplasma Phagocytophilum in Cultured Tick Cells, Ticks, and Sheep.
Busby, Ann Taylor (Oklahoma State University, 2011-12-01)The proteome of the Ixodes scapularis-derived cell line, ISE6, was characterized after infection with the tick-borne pathogen, Anaplasma phagocytophilum. Proteomics were used to identify proteins differentially expressed ... -
