Characterization of Anaplasma marginale infection in splenectomized domestic goats. 1981

J Maas, and G M Buening

An inoculum of Anaplasma marginale was given (IV) to a splenectomized domestic goat and then was serially passed through 4 additional goats. The results indicated that goats can be latent carriers at 75 days after inoculation, but not at 208 days. There was no evidence of serial passage of A marginale in goats.
