This study was carried out to determine the presence and frequency of Anaplasma ovis and Anaplasma phagocytophilum in small ruminants from Bingol, Elazig, Malatya and Mus provinces. A total of 422 (291 sheep and 131 goats) blood samples were collected from apparently healthy animals. To determine of A. ovis and A. phagocytophilum in small ruminants, species-specific PCRs were set up using 60 kDA chaperonin gene (cpn60, also known as hsp60 or groEL) and 16S SSU rRNA gene primer sets, respectively. A total of 301 (71.32%) animals were found infected with A. ovis and/or A. phagocytophilum . The p ...Daha fazlası
