title: Molecular evidence of Anaplasma phagocytophilum in Ixodes ricinus ticks and wild animals in Austria.
abstract: Real-time PCR analysis of a groESL heat shock operon segment showed the presence of two genetic lineages of Anaplasma phagocytophilum in Ixodes ricinus ticks as well as one variant in wild red and roe deer, the latter supposedly representing the natural reservoir of one variant of A. phagocytophilum.
