bovis, californicum, mycoides LC in ruminants
hyopneumoniae, hyorhinis, hyosynoviae in pigs

Question 3

very rapid weight loss
weakness, staggering, pale mucous membranes
abortions in cattle

Answer 3

Anaplasma marginale

Question 4

high fever often 105-108 F for 1 to 2 weeks
Coughing decreased appetite, dullness
Increased respiration and pulse
occasional hemorrhagic syndrome
Seldom fatal in large animals

Answer 4

Anaplasma phagocytophilum

Question 5

Canine disease seen in acute bacteremic phase of infection
Coincides with seasonal emergence of tick vectors
vague signs of illness: fever, lethargy, anorexia, muscle pain, reluctance to move
Lyme like lameness, joint pain, inflammatory polyarthritis
Meningitis, pneumonitis, gastrointestinal signs
May become a persistent infection

Answer 5

Anaplasma phagocytophilum

Question 6

Acute phase causes mild nonspecific signs (fever, weight loss, anorexia)
Thrombocytopenia (ding ding) with or without anemia, leukopenia
titers may be negative
Chronic phase will have a reappearance of the acute phase signs which will be mild to severe depending on age, breed and strain
This effects canines

anorexia, fever, conjunctivitis, yellow- green gelatinous droppings, decreased egg production

Answer 8

Chlamydophila psittaci

Question 9

Conjunctivitis, rhinitis and rarely pneumonia in cats

often subclinical but persistent genital and gastrointestinal infections may occur

Answer 9

Chlamydophila felis

Question 10

Endemic among ruminants and swine
Colonizes the placenta and thus causes abortion
EAE-Enzootic abortion of ewes is the most common form of this disease
