Relatively few cases have been described in pregnant women, and perinatal transmission appears to occur infrequently in humans. Infection in pregnant dogs has not been reported. Diagnosis of infection during pregnancy poses therapeutic challenges, because doxycycline, the treatment of choice, is teratogenic. Also, infection during pregnancy may result in more severe disease. When infection is diagnosed after parturition, knowledge of the risk of perinatal transmission to offspring is important, because prophylactic therapy in neonates is also not without risk. In this report, we describe relatively severe clinical manifestations of\n                    <jats:italic>Anaplasma phagocytophilum<\/jats:italic>\n                    infection in a postpartum bitch and a lack of perinatal transmission to her puppies.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.5326\/0450232","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,9,15]],"date-time":"2014-09-15T12:08:03Z","timestamp":1410782883000},"page":"232-238","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Lack of Evidence for Perinatal Transmission of Canine Granulocytic Anaplasmosis From a Bitch to Her Offspring"],"prefix":"10.5326","volume":"45","author":[{"given":"Michelle L.","family":"Plier","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathobiological Sciences, School of Veterinary Medicine, University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2015 Linden Drive, Madison, Wisconsin 53706"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Edward B.","family":"Breitschwerdt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathobiological Sciences, School of Veterinary Medicine, University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2015 Linden Drive, Madison, Wisconsin 53706"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Barbara C.","family":"Hegarty","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathobiological Sciences, School of Veterinary Medicine, University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2015 Linden Drive, Madison, Wisconsin 53706"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Linda B.","family":"Kidd","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathobiological Sciences, School of Veterinary Medicine, University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2015 Linden Drive, Madison, Wisconsin 53706"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"3280","reference":[{"key":"R1","series-title":"MMWR Recom Rep","first-page":"1","volume":"55","year":"2006","unstructured":"Chapman AS, Bakken JS, Folk SM, et al.
