Anaplasmosis is a bacterial infection that spreads from animals to humans. More rarely, the bacteria that cause anaplasmosis can spread through direct contact with infected animals. The infection can be treated successfully with antibiotics. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the global burden of human anaplasmosis treatment remains high as the organism causes more than 10,000 infections per year worldwide. Usually, anaplasmosis is more common in males than in females and are generally not occurring in infants.
The frequency of reported cases of anaplasmosis is highest among people over 40 years of age. A compromised immune system such as patients undergoing cancer treatments, advanced human immunodeficiency virus infection, prior organ transplants may increase the risk of the severe outcome. Individuals working or spending time in known tick habitats such as the zoo, animal rearing, and farms may be at increased risk for infection.
Although anaplasmosis infections can occur during any time of the year, the majority of cases reported to the CDC have an illness onset during the summer months and peaks in the months of June and July. This period is the season for the proliferation of nymphal black-legged ticks that bite humans and may transmit the pathogen.
The global anaplasmosis treatment market is expected to grow at a CAGR of approximately 6.3% during the forecast period 2017-2023.
