The bacteria Anaplasma marginale (Rickettsiales: Anaplasmataceae) is endemic worldwide in tropical and subtropical areas. Infection of cattle with A. marginale causes Bovine Anaplasmosis, a mild to severe hemolytic disease that results in considerable economic loss to both dairy and beef industries. Transmission of A. marginale to cattle occurs biologically by ticks, flies and by blood-contaminated fomites. Once infected, cattle may remain carriers for life, and identification of these animals depends on the detection of specific antibodies using serological tests, or of rickettsial DNA using amplification techniques
