The seroprevalence in sheep was significantly (P<0.01) higher in summer. The overall seroprevalence of anaplasmosis in goats using cELISA was 20.56%. Females (goats) were found to be more susceptible 24/110(21.81%) than males 13/70 (18.56%).
Li and colleagues sought “A capra” in patients who lived in areas where it had been identified in ticks and goats, rather than beginning with patients and seeking the cause of their tick-related febrile disease. In doing so, they discovered a new causative agent of human anaplasmosis.
26 lut 2022 · The overall prevalence of anaplasmosis in goats was estimated 5.75% and 15.75% by microscopy and PCR, respectively, in this study.
