Two Anaplasma phagocytophilum Strains in Ixodes scapularis Ticks, Canada

We developed PCR-based assays to distinguish a human pathogenic strain of Anaplasma phagocytophilum, Ap-ha, from Ap-variant 1, a strain not associated with human infection. The assays were validated on A. phagocytophilum-infected blacklegged ticks (Ixodes scapularis) collected in Canada. The relativ...

The relative prevalence of these 2 strains in I. scapularis ticks differed among geographic regions.
