Abstract

Anaplasma bacteria, particularly A. marginale, A. ovis, and A. phagocytophilum, have attracted researchers' attention in recent years. To a lesser extent, it has to do with the pathogenicity of these bacteria for farm animals and people alike. Anaplasmosis, which is a disease caused by numerous anaplasmosis species, is a major concern for animal producers. Ixodes, Dermacentor, Amblyomma, and Rhipicephalus ticks are the most frequent vectors of Anaplasma bacteria, which may be found in almost every region of the globe. Eukaryotic cells' vacuoles are host to obligatory intracellular bacteria of the Anaplasma genus. The obligatory intracellular bacteria Anaplasma centrale, A. bovis, A. ovis, and A. marginale, infect animal (mostly ruminants) red blood cells and monocytes. Dogs are its primary host, although it may also infect humans and domestic animals. In this study, we discussed six Anaplasma species and their vectors from across the globe.
