“…This finding is supported by some reports that cattle were more susceptible than water buffalo to A. marginale infection (Rajput et al, 2005). 16S rRNA partial gene of A. marginale sequences were 100% identical with each of the samples and formed a similar lineage with several sequences in the GenBank from the USA, China, Japan, Israel, Australia, and the Philippines.…”

“…De Waal (2000) revealed that more than 99% of the total cattle population in South Africa was at risk. Rajput et al (2005) informed us that in Pakistan, Anaplasma parasites in buffalo and cattle Bubalus bubalis were 30% and 52%, respectively. It is estimated that in the United States alone, losses incurred by A. marginale may reach approx.…”

“…In spite of morphological differences, occurrence and virulence, A. centrale is closely related to A. marginale. A. centrale is the cause of mild anaemia in most cases of cattle infection (Kuttler, 1984;Kocan et al, 2003;Rajput et al, 2005). According to Theiler, A. centrale is less pathogenic to cattle than A. marginale but, most importantly, occasionally gives resistance against the latter.…”

Over recent years, there has been a growing interest in bacteria from the genus Anaplasma, especially the species A. marginale, A. ovis and A. phagocytophilum. It is connected with the pathogenic activity of these bacteria in farm animals, and also, though to a lesser degree, in humans. Anaplasmosis, a disease caused by various species of anaplasma, is an especially important issue for animal breeders. The main vectors of the Anaplasma bacteria are ticks, common arachnida occurring everywhere in the world, especially the genera Ixodes, Dermacentor, Rhipicephalus and Amblyomma. The genus Anaplasma includes obligate intracellular bacteria, parasitizing in the vacuoles of cells in eukaryotic hosts. A. marginale, A. centrale, A. ovis and A. bovis are obligate intracellular bacteria parasitizing in erythrocytes and monocytes of higher vertebrates, mostly ruminants. A. platys is mainly a pathogen of canines (displaying tropism to thrombocytes) and the species A. phagocytophilum (displaying tropism to granulocytes) is pathogenic to people and domestic animals. In this paper we present characteristics and differentiation of six species of the genus Anaplasma and their vectors in the world.

“…Tick transmitted haemoprotozoan diseases especially babesiosis, theileriosis and anaplasmosis are considered some of the major impediments in the health and productive performance of cattle (Rajput et al, 2005); affecting livestock industries in many parts of the world (Hourrigan, 1979). In some cases, ticks have been reported to cause lowered productivity, mortality (Niyonzema and Kiltz, 1986) and transmit the diseases (Norval et.…”

A study was conducted to investigate the prevalence of theileriosis and babesiosis in cattle in Sirajganj district of Bangladesh during the period of December 2013 to November 2014. During one year study period a total of 395 cattle were examined, 23 and 8 were found to be infected with Theileria spp. and Babesia spp., respectively. On Geimsa stained blood smear examination, it was observed that the overall prevalence of theileriosis and babesiosis in cattle were recorded as 5.82% and 2.27% respectively. The effect of age, sex, breed and season was observed in cattle during this study. The highest prevalence of theileriosis (7.25%) and babesiosis (3.10%) was reported in the older cattle (>3 years of age) and the higher prevalence was observed in female (6.66% and 2.59%, respectively) than male (4.0% and 1.60% respectively). All crossbred cattle was showed higher prevalence than local cattle. The prevalence of theileriosis was noticed as the highest in the rainy season (6.25%) in relation to summer (5.83%) and winter (5.05%) season. But the prevalence of babesiosis was ranked the highest in summer season (2.50%) followed in rainy (2.27%) and winter (2.02%) season that was insignificant. From the study it was evident that cattle were infected with the organisms and caused a heavy economic loss which will assist to take necessary preventive measurements.Res. Agric., Livest.
