Anaplasma platyswas first identified and described in North America as a Rickettsia-like, platelet-specific organism in dogs with infectious canine cyclic thrombocytopenia. In Europe, A. platyshas so far mainly been described for some Mediterranean countries. Here, we describe a case of A. platysinfection in a dog from Romania, confirmed by PCR. Additionally, the dog had a co-infection with Hepatozoon canis. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of A. platysinfection in Romania and the first case of a co-infection with A. platysand H. canisaltogether. Both pathogens should be considered as possible disease agents in dogs suffering from disease associated with tick bite in south-eastern Europe. |
