Über den Test

Erregertest

• Der qPCR-Test weist das Genom (DNA) von Anaplasma phagocytophilum, dem Bakterium (früher bekannt als Ehrlichia phagocytophilaund Ehrlichia equi) nach, das für die Equine Anaplasmose verantwortlich ist.

Was ist Equine Anaplasmose?

• Anaplasmose ist eine durch Zecken übertragene Krankheit, die durch das Bakterium Anaplasma phagocytophilumverursacht wird und weiße Blutkörperchen infiziert.

• Die Krankheit wird durch Zecken übertragen.

• Das Übertragungsrisiko auf den Menschen ist derzeit unklar.

• Obwohl Pferde und Menschen anscheinend mit Stämmen desselben Bakteriums infiziert werden, wird angenommen, dass Menschen die Infektion auch durch Zeckenbisse und nicht direkt von infizierten Pferden erhalten.

Klinische Zeichen

• The severity of signs varies with the age of the animal and duration of the illness.

• Signs may be mild.

• Horses less than 1 year old may have a fever only.

• Horses 1 to 3 years old develop fever, depression, mild limb swelling and lack of coordination.

• Adults exhibit the characteristic signs of fever, poor appetite, depression, reluctance to move, limb swelling and jaundice.

• Fever is highest during the first 1 to 3 days of infection, but may last for 6 to 12 days.

• Signs become more severe over several days.

• Any existing infection (such as a leg wound or respiratory infection) can be made worse.

Übertragung

• The disease is transmitted by ticks.

• Immature ticks pick up the bacterium from rodents who serve as reservoirs, maintain it as they mature, and then transmit it to the horse they feed off of as adults.

• It is unknown how long the tick has to be attached before transmission occurs.

• It takes approximately 2–3 weeks after disease transmission for the horse to develop clinical signs of Anaplasmosis.

• Phagocytophilum organisms infect neutrophils and eosinophils in the blood.

Prävention

• The disease is easily treated in the early stages using appropriate antibiotics.

• The severity of the disease is variable; many horses recover after 14 days without treatment.

• Rare fatalities have occurred that are believed to be associated with secondary infections.

• Horses with severe signs and neurologic signs may benefit from injectable corticosteroids.

• Recovered horses develop immunity for at least 2 years and are not carriers.

• Tick control measures are mandatory for control of the disease.

• There is no vaccine.
