*Gallsickness
|l1=Anaplasmosis
|q2=What are the common Anaplasma spp. pathogens and which species do they affect?
|a2=
*A. marginale and A. centrale in cattle
*A. mesaeterum and A. ovis in sheep and goats
|l2= Anaplasmas#Introduction
|q3= Which breed of cattle exhibit some resistance to tick infestation?
|a3=
* Bos indicus cattle
|l3=Anaplasmosis#Signalment
|q4= What age of cattle are most commonly affected by Anaplasmosis and why?
|a4=
*>9-12months old
*Maternal derived immunity and age derived immunity protect them up to this point, so infection when young usually results in protective immunity.
|l4=Anaplasmosis#Signalment
|q5=What happens to cattle that recover from anaplasmosis?
|a5= they become carriers and the pathogen continues to replicate and develop within them, allowing them to transmit disease to other animals asymptomatically.
|l5= Anaplasmosis#Clinical Signs
|q6= What are the common clinical signs associated with anaplasmosis?
|a6=
*Profound anaemia
*Tachycardia
*Dyspnoea
*Anorexia
*Mucoid diarrhoea
*Neurological signs – fasciculations, seizures, ataxia
*Abortion and infertility
|l6= Anaplasmosis#Clinical Signs
|q7=What is classified as a positive result for anaplasmosis on a blood smear?
|a7=
*>5% red blood cells infected by Anaplasma spp.
*OR accompanying clinical signs of anaemia with the presence of Anaplasma spp.
|l7= Anaplasmosis#Diagnosis
