Emerging infectious diseases, 2005•ncbi.nlm.nih.govWe report Anaplasma phagocytophilum infection of Ixodes persulcatus and I. ovatus ticks in
Japan. Unique p44/msp2 paralogs (and/or 16S rRNA genes) were detected in tick tissues,
salivary glands, and spleens of experimentally infected mice. These findings indicate the
public health threat of anaplasmosis in Japan.

Abstract
We report Anaplasma phagocytophilum infection of Ixodes persulcatus and I. ovatus ticks in Japan. Unique p44/msp2 paralogs (and/or 16S rRNA genes) were detected in tick tissues, salivary glands, and spleens of experimentally infected mice. These findings indicate the public health threat of anaplasmosis in Japan.
