Detection of Anaplasma phagocytophilum in Wild and Farmed Cervids in Poland

Abstract

Cervids from the four sites across Poland were found to be major natural reservoirs of various strains of <i>A. phagocytophilum</i>. This is the first study to use spleen and liver as biological material to detect <i>A. phagocytophilum</i> in moose in Poland.
