Anaplasma phagocytophilum

Anaplasma phagocytophilum is an intracellular bacterium transmitted by Ixodes ticks and the causative agent of human granulocytic anaplasmosis (HGA). The infection can lead to fever, muscle aches, leukopenia, and thrombocytopenia, and may become severe in immunocompromised or elderly individuals. Early detection of this bacterial pathogen is essential for timely antibiotic treatment.
Anaplasma phagocytophilum PCR kits based on real-time PCR technology provide a sensitive and specific method for detecting A. phagocytophilum DNA in human samples together with other tick-borne disease pathogens. These molecular diagnostics tools offer accurate and reproducible results in routine and specialized laboratory workflows. Available in CE IVD-marked format for diagnostic use and as research use only (RUO) versions, these multiplex PCR assays support laboratory clinical workflows, A. phagocytophilum identification and diagnostics from clinical samples, applications such as tick-borne disease diagnostics, co-infection screening, vector-borne disease epidemiological surveillance.
