The Anaplasma Antibody Test Kit is a competitive, enzyme-linked, immunosorbent assay (cELISA) designed to provide results which will give guidance about the presence of Anaplasma infection in cattle. Sample serum antibodies to Anaplasma inhibit the binding of horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-labeled monoclonal antibody to the Anaplasma antigen coated on the plastic wells. Binding, or lack of binding, of the HRP-labeled monoclonal antibody conjugate is detected by the addition of enzyme substrate and quantified by subsequent color product development. Strong color development indicates little or no blockage of HRP-labeled monoclonal antibody binding and therefore the absence of antibodies to Anaplasma in the sample serum. Weak or no color development due to inhibition of the monoclonal antibody binding to the antigen on the solid phase indicates the presences of Anaplasma antibodies in the sample serum.

About Anaplasmosis


Anaplasmosis is a non-contagious, arthropodborne, parasitic disease of ruminants that results in significant economic losses to the cattle industry. The disease in cattle is caused by Anaplasma marginale, recently classified in geno-group II of Ehrlichiae. Anaplasma marginale is an intra-erythrocytic parasite that causes severe anemia, abortion, weight loss, jaundice and death. Diagnosis of the acute disease is based upon clinical signs, anemia and finding of Anaplasma inclusion bodies in erythrocytes. Animal surviving the acute phase become lifelong carriers to naïve cattle, which develop clinical disease. Cycles of rickettsemia in carriers fluctuate between 10^2.5 and 10^7 infected erythrocytes per ml, levels generally undetectable by Giemsa staining. Carriers can be identified by detection of serum antibodies to A. marginale with VMRD's Anaplasma Antibody Test Kit.
