A 22-year old mare from Switzerland was admitted to an equine clinic in May 2011. She presented with fever, lethargy, icteric mucous membranes, reduced alertness, an unsteady gait and ataxia. An Anaplasma phagocytophilum infection was confirmed by blood smear and PCR. The mare was treated with oxytetracylin and recovered rapidly, but she still suffered from a slight atactic gait disturbance at 3 weeks post infection.
2011年5月，一匹来自瑞士的22岁母马被送往一家马科动物诊所。它出现了发热、嗜睡、黏膜黄疸、警觉性降低、步态不稳和共济失调等症状。通过血涂片和聚合酶链反应（PCR）确诊为嗜吞噬细胞无形体感染。这匹母马接受了土霉素治疗并迅速康复，但在感染后3周仍存在轻微的共济失调步态障碍。
