Talk:Anaplasmosis

message: Anaplasmosis, also known as Erlichia Equi, is now extremely common in the northeast and prevalent in pets, such as dogs and cats. Some vets report that almost half of the animals tested have the disease, which can attack the joints. The symptoms are similar to Lymes' disease as is the treatment - a course of Doxycycline. A growing number of vets recommend testing pets for the disease every six months to a year.
This article states that it is about the ruminant disease, which is caused by Anaplasma marginale. While much of the article does seem to refer to that, A. marginale infects RED blood cells. Also, it's not a human disease; therefore, other parts are presumably discussing Anaplasma phagocytophilum, which infects WHITE blood cells and could have infected people (as listed under the notable cases section).  Can someone clarify this?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.185.101.152 (talk) 23:50, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: This page does have some interesting and helpful information but it is lacking a substantial amount of potentially useful information about the disease. It seems as if the 'signs' and 'treatment' sections are most weak in the amount of knowledge they contain; they can definitely be expanded to include much more. The treatment only talks about one most common antibiotic, which is not the only known treatment and the signs only tell of the most basic information that one can find. The 'notable cases' section should have more to it or maybe even be taken out because it does not seem very useful as it is. The sources used are not all primary articles and are mostly from novels and scientific articles, this may be improved by including some university studies and CDC data for the disease.

message: The section "Morphology" was added to the article. Information about the genetics, cell structure and characteristics were included in this section. Only two species of Anaplasma organisms were included because they are the two main species that cause anaplasmosis.

thread_title:  Section Added 

message: The section titles "Morphology" was added to the page. This section included information about characteristics of cell makeup and genetics of two major Anaplasma species. This section could be expanded but I chose to start with information on just the two major species.

thread_title:  "Morphology" Section added 

message: I have been working on this page for a few weeks for a class assignment. I have made a good amount of edits and have added a lot of updated information about Anaplasmosis. I expanded most sections besides the Epidemiology section. There can definitely be more work done on this page but I hope that what I have added is concise and useful!
