Detection and msp5-based diversity of Anaplasma marginale in cattle-associated arthropods from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Bovine anaplasmosis is caused by Anaplasma marginale, whose primary biological vector is Rhipicephalus microplus. Nevertheless, hematophagous arthropods may contribute to the circulation of pathogens in livestock production systems. The present study investigated the molecular occurrence, msp5-based genetic variation,...
