“…Recent studies reported the presence of A. phagocytophilum nucleic acids in sheep [24,25] , in goats [25] in ixodid ticks [26][27][28] , in cattle [24,29,30] and in dogs [31] , as well as A. ovis in sheep [25] , in goats [25] and in ixodid ticks [28,32] in discrete regions. In East Black Sea region of Turkey, A. phagocytophilum seroprevalence by IFAT has been observed 14.86% (107/720) and specific DNA ratio by nested PCR has been found 12.35% (22/178) in sheep [24] .…”

This study was conducted to determine the presence and distribution of Anaplasma ovis and Anaplasma phagocytophilum in small ruminants in Istanbul, Tekirdag, Edirne and Kirklareli provinces in Thrace region of northwestern Turkey during May-September in 2014. A total of 423 blood samples (216 sheep and 207 goats) were collected randomly from small ruminants regardless of the clinical symptoms. Species-specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays, targeting the major surface protein 4 (msp4), were employed for identification of A. ovis and A. phagocytophilum and selected products were confirmed via sequencing. A total of 230 small ruminants (54.37%) were found to be infected with A. ovis and/or A. phagocytophilum.

“…Naïve animals in non endemic areas may become infected with anaplasmosis following the introduction of a carrier animal from an endemic area. Therefore the reliable detection of acute infection and carriers is important issue in the epidemiology of anaplasmosis [11] . Scanning tests that are used in epidemiological studies must be reliable.…”

“…is found to be major transmitting agent [2,7,8] . Although there are some prevalence reports of anaplasmosis in cattle with high rate (up to 80%) [1,3,[9][10][11] , information about prevalence rates in small ruminants is restricted in Turkey [12,13] .…”

The aim of this study was to determine diagnostic value of cELISA in anaplasmosis in clinically suspected animals and to compare the cELISA results with the clinical examination results. For this purpose a total of 720 ruminants (457 cattle, 146 sheep, 117 goat) were examined in terms of clinical signs. Eighty-eight ruminants consisting of 61 cattle, 11 sheep and 16 goat which had the symptoms of anemia, fever, icterus, weakness, depression and lack of appetite were selected for the study. Blood samples were collected from the jugular vein of all clinically suspected animals and serum samples were separated. A commercially available competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (C-ELISA) kit was used for determine antibodies to Anaplasma species. cELISA based diagnosis revealed that 47 of 88 serum samples (53.4%) were positive for anaplasmosis. In serological examination Anaplasma specific antibodies were determined in 45.9% of cattle, 63.6% of sheep and 56.2% of goats. Seropositivity rate was statistically differ among the age groups of cattle and the highest seropositvity rate was found in <12 month age (P<0.005). However no difference was found in the seropositivity rate of Anaplasma in sheep and goat in relation to age group. From the data obtained in this study it can be concluded that clinical findings are not sufficient criteria for the diagnosis of anaplasmosis and must be supported by serological examination.

“…Additionally, A. phagocytophilum was detected in Ixodes ricinus ticks isolated from humans (45). A few bovine anaplasmosis outbreaks were also reported in cattle from some areas (35,(46)(47)(48)(49) and one A. platys infection was reported in a dog in Turkey (50).…”

Zoonotic infections are globally important diseases and lead to huge economic losses in both low-and middle-income and high-income countries. Global warming, environmental and ecological changes, illegal movement of animals and humans, regional civil wars, and poverty are predisposing factors for the emergence of zoonotic infections and their distribution worldwide; they are also a big threat for the future. In addition, environmental pollution and antimicrobial resistance are immense serious threats and dangers to prevent and control zoonotic infections. The natural location of Turkey allows many emerged or re-emerged infections with zoonotic characteristics by animal movements, such as bird immigrations, and by human movements due to civil wars as seen with regional refugees. Numerous zoonotic diseases, including 37 bacterial, 13 fungal, 29 viral, 28 parasitic (3 trematodes, 7 cestodes, 10 nematodes, and 8 protozoan), and totally 107 infections, have been reported from Turkey to date. Additionally, many ectoparasitic zoonoses within 15 different arthropod groups and one leech infestation have been reported from Turkey to date. The "One Health" initiative is particularly relevant for developing strategies to combat zoonotic diseases. In this article, we review the occurrence of zoonotic diseases in man and animals in Turkey in the light of the "One Health" perspective.
