Cross reactivity between Anaplasma marginale and two Plasmodium species as demonstrated by passive hemagglutination. 1976

G T Dimopoullos, and J F Finerty

Two types of antigens were prepared from each of 3 partially purified preparations of Anaplasma marginale, Plasmodium lophurae, and P berghei. Hemagglutination tests were conducted with homologous serums to detect antigenic relationships between these organisms. Serums were also absorbed with both homologous and heterologous antigen preparations. Cross reactivity between these organisms was observed.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008289 Malaria, Avian Any of a group of infections of fowl caused by protozoa of the genera PLASMODIUM, Leucocytozoon, and Haemoproteus. The life cycles of these parasites and the disease produced bears strong resemblance to those observed in human malaria. Avian Malaria,Avian Malarias,Malarias, Avian
D010961 Plasmodium A genus of protozoa that comprise the malaria parasites of mammals. Four species infect humans (although occasional infections with primate malarias may occur). These are PLASMODIUM FALCIPARUM; PLASMODIUM MALARIAE; PLASMODIUM OVALE, and PLASMODIUM VIVAX. Species causing infection in vertebrates other than man include: PLASMODIUM BERGHEI; PLASMODIUM CHABAUDI; P. vinckei, and PLASMODIUM YOELII in rodents; P. brasilianum, PLASMODIUM CYNOMOLGI; and PLASMODIUM KNOWLESI in monkeys; and PLASMODIUM GALLINACEUM in chickens. Plasmodiums

D000709 Anaplasma A genus of gram-negative bacteria whose organisms are obligate parasites of vertebrates. Species are transmitted by arthropod vectors with the host range limited to ruminants. Anaplasma marginale is the most pathogenic species and is the causative agent of severe bovine anaplasmosis.
D000712 Anaplasmosis A disease usually in cattle caused by parasitization of the red blood cells by bacteria of the genus ANAPLASMA.
