Anaplasma platys is an obligate intracellular rickettsial pathogen that infects platelets of dogs forming basophilic intracellular morulae. In the present report, cellular inclusions were documented in bone marrow thrombocyte precursors of two young naturally-infected dogs, indicating that A. platys can infect megakaryocytes and promegakaryocytes.

Abstract
Anaplasma platys is an obligate intracellular rickettsial pathogen that infects platelets of dogs forming basophilic intracellular morulae. In the present report, cellular inclusions were documented in bone marrow thrombocyte precursors of two young naturally-infected dogs, indicating that A. platys can infect megakaryocytes and promegakaryocytes.File in questo prodotto:
