Abstract

ABSTRACTCanine DNA samples from South Africa were found to contain 16S rRNA gene nucleotide and citrate synthase gene nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences that were most similar toAnaplasma phagocytophilum: 98%, 66%, and 69% similarity, respectively. This suggests that a newAnaplasmaspecies closely related toA. phagocytophilumoccurs in Africa.
