<i>Anaplasma phagocytophilum</i> transmembrane and surface proteins play a role during infection and multiplication in host neutrophils and tick vector cells. Recently, <i>A. phagocytophilum</i> Major surface protein 4 (MSP4) and Heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) were shown to be localized on the bacterial membrane, with a possible role during pathogen infection in ticks. In this study, we hypothesized that <i>A. phagocytophilum</i> MSP4 and HSP70 have similar functions in tick-pathogen and host-pat ...[more]
