Anaplasmosis is a tick-borne disease affecting ruminants, dogs, and horses, [1] and is caused by Anaplasma bacteria. Anaplasmosis is an infectious but not contagious disease. Anaplasmosis can be transmitted through mechanical and biological vector processes.
As of 2020 18 tick-borne pathogens have been identified in the United States according to the Centers for Disease Control [10] and at least 27 are known globally. [8] [11] [12] New tick-borne diseases have been discovered in the 21st century, due in part to the use of molecular assays and next-generation sequencing. [13]

Ticks transmit the human strain of babesiosis, so it often presents with other tick-borne illnesses such as Lyme disease. [5] After trypanosomes, Babesia is thought to be the second-most common blood parasite of mammals. They can have major adverse effects on the health of domestic animals in areas without severe winters.
Human granulocytic anaplasmosis (HGA) is a tick-borne, infectious disease caused by Anaplasma phagocytophilum, an obligate intracellular bacterium that is typically transmitted to humans by ticks of the Ixodes ricinus species complex, including Ixodes scapularis and Ixodes pacificus in North America.
Between 2004 and 2016, tick-borne disease cases more than doubled, with 82 percent of those cases being Lyme disease. Skip to main content. Sign in. Mail ...
