Seroprevalence of anaplasmosis in dairy cattle from Peninsular Malaysia

Bovine anaplasmosis also known as Red water or Gall sickness is an important disease of cattle primarily caused by Anaplasma marginale and it infects erythrocytes, which results to erythrophagocytosis and subsequently anaemia. This study was carried out to determine the seroprevalence of bovine anap...

This study was carried out to determine the seroprevalence of bovine anaplasmosis among dairy cattle in some randomly selected ruminant farms in Peninsular Malaysia. A total of 45 Blood samples were collected via jugular venipuncture from cattle from four (4) farms using convenient sampling technique.

Serum was extracted from coagulated blood for serological testing using Anaplasma antibody Test Kit (VMRD, Inc. United State of America). The result showed an overall seroprevalence rate of 51.11% (23/45). Farm level seropositivity showed 83.3% (10/12), 41.7% (5/12), 23.1% (3/13) and 62.5% (5/8) for Farms A, B, C, and D, respectively.
