PY - 2006 DA - 2006/07/26 TI - Molecular characterization of Anaplasma platysstrains from dogs in Sicily, Italy JO - BMC Veterinary Research SP - 24 VL - 2 IS - 1 AB - The genetic diversity of Anaplasma platys (Rickettsiales: Anaplasmataceae) strains is currently poorly defined. The present study was designed to characterize A. patys strains in dogs from Palermo, Sicily, Italy, using a combination of PCR and sequence analysis of the 16S rDNA, heat shock operon groESL and citrate synthase (gltA) genes.
