Molecular detection of Anaplasma spp., Babesia spp. and Theileria spp. in yaks (Bos grunniens) and Tibetan sheep (Ovis aries) on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, China

open access: yesParasites & Vectors, 2021
Background Anaplasma, Babesia and Theileria are tick-borne pathogens (TBPs) that affect livestock worldwide. However, information on these pathogens in yaks (Bos grunniens) and Tibetan sheep (Ovis aries) on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP), China, is ...

Distribution of Ticks and Prevalence of Tick‐Borne Pathogens in Multiple Regions of China

open access: yesTransboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Ticks and tick‐borne pathogens pose significant threats to livestock and public health. While tick occurrences have been reported in China, systematic assessments of pathogen risk factors across diverse hosts and regions remain limited. This study investigated tick distribution, prevalence, and associated pathogen infections across seven sampling sites

Detection of Anaplasma ovis infection in goats by major surface protein 5 competitive inhibition enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay [PDF]

open access: yes, 1995
A competitive inhibition enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) based on a major surface protein 5 (MSP5) B-cell epitope conserved among Anaplasma species was used to detect goats infected with Anaplasma ovis. We examined strains of A.

A One Health Assessment of Tick and Tick‐Borne Pathogen Diversity and Zoonotic Risk in Hubei Province, Central China

open access: yesTransboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Ticks and tick‐borne pathogens (TBPs) threaten livestock productivity and public health worldwide, and climate–land‐use change is expanding vector habitats, elevating tick‐borne disease risk. However, TBP diversity and risk in Hubei Province, central China, remain insufficiently defined within a One Health framework.

Molecular detection of novel Anaplasma sp. and zoonotic hemopathogens in livestock and their hematophagous biting keds (genus Hippobosca) from Laisamis, northern Kenya [version 1; peer review: 3 approved]

open access: yesOpen Research Africa, 2022
Background: Livestock are key sources of livelihood among pastoral communities. Livestock productivity is chiefly constrained by pests and diseases. Due to inadequate disease surveillance in northern Kenya, little is known about pathogens circulating ...

Prevalence of Anaplasma species and habitat suitability for ticks in Sicily [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The genus Anaplasma (Rickettsiales: Anaplasmataceae) includes the tick-transmitted pathogens Anaplasma marginale, Anaplasma phagocytophilum and Anaplasma ovis that have an impact on veterinary and human health. Anaplasma spp. are endemic in Sicily, where

Landscape of exposure: Metapopulation dynamics and local environment structure pathogen exposure in desert bighorn sheep

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 16, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract Dynamics of infectious disease in natural populations result from processes across scales, from host characteristics shaping exposure risk and susceptibility, to local environmental conditions driving vector populations, to the structure of metapopulation networks shaping transmission of pathogens across the landscape.

Anaplasma ovis infection in goat flocks around Gaborone, Botswana [PDF]

open access: yesComparative Clinical Pathology, 2019
Anaplasma is a genus of gram-negative, intracellular bacteria infecting different blood cells in animals. A. ovis infects erythrocytes of sheep and goats, inducing clinical signs that include haemolytic anaemia, icterus and loss of production. Aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of Anaplasma spp.

A Set of Rapid Diagnostic Tool for Babesia microti Infection

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, Volume 39, Issue 20, October 2025.
This study develops a cross‐priming amplification combined with vertical flow visualization (CPA‐VF) assay for rapid, low‐cost detection of Babesia microti, achieving a detection limit of 2.56 fg/reaction (equivalent to 0.000004% parasitic red blood cells) with 95.5% sensitivity and specificity compared to nested PCR.

Molecular detection and characterization of Anaplasma spp. in sheep and cattle from Xinjiang, northwest China

open access: yesParasites & Vectors, 2015
Background Anaplasmosis is caused by obligate intracellular bacteria in the genus Anaplasma. These bacterial pathogens are transmitted by ticks and impact both human and animal health.
