Etymology
Anaplasmosis comes from the name of the bacteria Anaplasma, built from Greek parts ana- ('again' or 'up') and -plasma ('form' or 'thing formed'), with plasma like the English word plasma, as in blood plasma. So the name suggests a change in the formed parts of the blood, which fits because this disease attacks and changes red blood cells and causes anemia.
