Abstract: Background Anaplasma spp. are tick-transmitted bacteria that infect a wide variety of wild and domestic animals. These pathogens exhibit a high degree of biological diversity, broad geographical distribution, and represent a serious threat to veterinary and public health worldwide.ResultsA novel Anaplasma species was identified in Haemaphysalis qinghaiensis (Ixodidae) in northwestern China and was molecularly characterized by comparison of 16S rRNA, gltA, and groEL gene sequences. Of the 414 samples tested, 24… Show more

“…Notably, extensive genetic variation was detected in msp2. Consistent with our results, sequence variation at the studied gene markers has been reported previously among isolates from ticks, sheep and goats [12,[15][16][17][18][20][21][22][23][24][25]. Similarly, genetic variation is common in other Anaplasma species [40][41][42][43][44][45].…”

“…The provisional name Anaplasma capra was assigned after its initial characterization in goats (Capra aegagrus hircus) in China [12]. Later, it was isolated from sheep, goats and cattle in different geographical regions [15][16][17][18][19] as well as from various tick species (Haemaphysalis qinghaiensis, H. longicornis, Ixodes persulcatus) [12,[20][21][22][23]. Infection of A. capra was also reported in six wild animals in China including three takins (Budorcas taxicolor), two Reeves's muntjacs (Muntiacus reevesi) and one forest musk deer (Moschus berezovskii) [24].…”

“…In a previous report, a novel Anaplasma species closely related to A. capra has also been identified in Haemaphysalis qinghaiensis ticks in northwestern China [8]. The 16S rRNA gene of those isolates exhibit the highest sequence similarity with A. capra (similarity of 99.8–99.9%), but the gltA and groEL genes were relatively less identical to A. capra (88.6–88.7% for gltA and 90.6–91.0% for groEL ).…”

“…Anaplasma capra was initially identified in 37 (31%) of 120 blood samples from asymptomatic goats in northern China in 2012, based on both the 16S rRNA gene ( rrs ) and the citrate synthase gene ( gltA ) (Li et al, 2015 ). The newly discovered Anaplasma species was then isolated from the samples during active surveillance of patients in a hospital in Heilongjiang Province, China; it was then identified in sheep and ticks in the northern and southern China (Li et al, 2015 ; Yang et al, 2016 ). The infection rates of ticks at the sites ranged from 0 to 78.6% (Yang et al, 2016 , 2017 , 2018 ).…”
