“…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.

“…ovis causing anaplasmosis is the most frequent pathogen in sheep and goats, with high serological and biomolecular prevalence (15,16). In Italy, A. ovis is reported to occur with a prevalence of 82.9% in sheep and 74.9% in goats (17,18 Anaplasma bovis is another major pathogen of ruminants. In a previous study, the prevalence of A. bovis and A. phagocytophilum in cattle was 80.0% and 40.0%, respectively (19), whereas the prevalence of A. phagocytophilum was 6.7% in both sheep and goats (19).…”

Tick-borne diseases are one of the most important classes of disease in animal husbandry and cause severe economic losses. In this study, 660 adult female ticks were collected from sheep in nine localities in Henan Province, China. All were identified as Haemaphysalis longicornis, confirmed with light microscopy and PCR amplification. The pathogens identified in these ticks included bacteria of the genus Anaplasma (Anaplasma ovis, A. bovis, A. phagocytophilum) and piroplasmal protozoans (Theileria luwenshuni, Babesia motasi). Our results show the high prevalence of A. bovis (20.4%, 135/660) and T. luwenshuni (14.4%, 95/660) in the ticks from sheep, whereas A. ovis, A. phagocytophilum, and B. motasi occurred in 2.3% (15/660), 1.5% (10/660), and 0.75% (5/660) of ticks, respectively. This is the first report of B. motasi in H. longicornis in China. In contrast, no T. uilenbergi infection was found in this study. These results confirm that H. longicornis is the most common tick species in sheep in Henan Province and can transmit A. phagocytophilum, a well-known zoonotic pathogen of public-health and veterinary significance. Importantly, these results suggest that A. bovis, transmitted by H. longicornis, is a predominant pathogen of sheep in this region.

“…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.
