Molecular identification of tick-borne hemoparasites in equines from Northwestern Colombia.
Equine granulocytic anaplasmosis (EGA) and equine piroplasmosis (EP) are sidesases tramsitted by ticks, and affects equines in several places worldwide (1,2). EGA is caused by Anaplasma phagocytophilum, a bacteria of the Anaplasmataceae family, comprised by 4 genuses: Ehrlichia, Anaplasma, Wolbachia...

| Summary: | Equine granulocytic anaplasmosis (EGA) and equine piroplasmosis (EP) are sidesases tramsitted by ticks, and affects equines in several places worldwide (1,2). EGA is caused by Anaplasma phagocytophilum, a bacteria of the Anaplasmataceae family, comprised by 4 genuses: Ehrlichia, Anaplasma, Wolbachia and Neorickettsia.all of them are obligate intracellular bacteria that replicate in small vacuoles derived from the host cell membrane. Each species may replicate inside vertebrate hosts, with the exception of Wolbachia, which has not been reported infecting mammals. Vectors for each species have been well studied, generally ticks or trematodes; however, the study of Wolbachia has not been clear due to the wide variety of invertebrate hosts where it has been found (3).
La anaplasmosis granulocítica equina (AGE) y la piroplasmosis equina (PE) son enfermedades transmitidas por garrapatas que afectan los equinos en diversos lugares del mundo (1,2). La AGE es causada por la bacteria Anaplasma phagocytophilum de la familia Anaplasmataceae, que está compuesta por 4 géneros Ehrlichia, Anaplasma, Wolbachia y Neorickettsia. La totalidad de sus miembros son bacterias intracelulares obligadas que se replican en pequeñas vacuolas derivadas de la membrana de la célula hospedera. Cada especie puede replicarse dentro hospederos vertebrados, excepto Wolbachia, de la cual no se tienen reportes de la infección en mamíferos. Los vectores para cada especie han sido bien estudiados, siendo generalmente garrapatas o tremátodos; sin embargo, el estudio de Wolbachia no ha sido claro debido a la gran variedad de hospederos invertebrados en los que se ha encontrado (3).
