Bacterial species of the genus Anaplasma are tick transmitted pathogens that negatively impact on animal productions and generate veterinary and public health concerns. This paper reports the identification, molecular characterization and phylogeny of novel unclassified A. platys-like strains in cats. Interestingly, these novel strains are closely related to conspecific strains recently identified in ruminants, and significantly differ from A. platys. A. platys-like strains in cats, unlike ruminants strains, show tropism for platelets. Results have implications in the diagnostic scenario of animal anaplasmosis and provide background for reconstructing the evolutionary history of species genetically related to A. platys.
无形体属的细菌种类是通过蜱传播的病原体，会对动物生产产生负面影响，并引发兽医和公共卫生方面的担忧。本文报告了猫体内新型未分类的类血小板无形体菌株的鉴定、分子特征和系统发育。有趣的是，这些新型菌株与最近在反刍动物中鉴定出的同种菌株密切相关，且与血小板无形体有显著差异。与反刍动物菌株不同，猫体内的类血小板无形体菌株对血小板具有嗜性。这些结果对动物无形体病的诊断具有启示意义，并为重建与血小板无形体基因相关物种的进化历史提供了背景资料。
