A PRELIMINARY INVESTIGATION OF THE ECOLOGY OF BOVINE ANAPLASMOSIS AND THREAT OF BOVINE THEILERIOSIS IN OHIO

Objective

The goals of this study are to gather preliminary data on the ecology of bovine anaplasmosis and assess the risk of bovine theileriosis - an emerging disease in the U.S. - in Ohio. Specifically, our aims are to:1. Determine whether ticks that infest Ohio livestock harbor the livestock pathogens Anaplasma marginale or Theileria orientalis.2. Characterize the species and genotypes of Anaplasmataceae pathogens circulating in Ohio cattle herds.
