Abstrakt: ABSTRACTBiological and geographic heterogeneity of anthropozoonosis caused by Anaplasma phagocytophilumis poorly understood. Seven North American A. phagocytophilumstrains were compared by PFGE. The average genome size was 1.58 Mbp, and restriction patterns were identical. New World strains of A. phagocytophilumhave a large genome and a high degree of genetic uniformity.
