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
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]
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.

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.

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

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]
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
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.
