Molecular Detection of Anaplasma marginale and Anaplasma ovis (Rickettsiales: Anaplasmataceae) in Ixodid Tick Species in Iran

The present study was conducted as the first molecular detection of <em>Anaplasma</em> species in tick samples based on the sequencing of <em>major surface proteins 4 </em>(<em>msp4</em>) gene fragments in different parts of Iran. A total of 130 tick specimens wer...

description The present study was conducted as the first molecular detection of <em>Anaplasma</em> species in tick samples based on the sequencing of <em>major surface proteins 4 </em>(<em>msp4</em>) gene fragments in different parts of Iran. A total of 130 tick specimens were collected from Hormozgan, Lorestan, and Guilan, Iran, within 2015 to 2017. <em>Hyalomma asiaticum</em>, <em>Hyalomma dromedarii</em>, <em>Rhipicephalus sanguineus</em>, and <em>Rhipicephalus </em>(<em>Boophilus</em>) species were identified in different geographical regions. An amplicon of 464-bp <em>msp4</em> of <em>Anaplasma</em> was amplified using polymerase chain reaction in various tick species. Three sequences, including one <em>Anaplasma marginale</em> from <em>R</em>. (<em>Boophilus</em>) species and two <em>Anaplasma ovis</em> from <em>Rhipicephalus sanguineus</em>, were obtained after sequencing. It is concluded that bovine and ovine anaplasmosis agents are present in tick samples in Iran. The use of the gene families of six major surface proteins for the detection of various Anaplasma species is recommended.
