Abstract

Anaplasma phagocytophilum, the causative agent of equine granulocytic anaplasmosis, affects several species of wild and domesticatedmammals, including horse, besides human. In Turkey, there were many reports on A. phagocytophilum circulation among cattles, sheep,dogs, mice, humans, except horses. In this study, we aimed to inquiry whether A. phagocytophilum were circulating among the horsepopulation or not. For this purpose, 105 mare horse blood sera were examined for the presence of Anti-Anaplasma phagocytophilum IgGantibodies by IFAT. The seroprevalance rate of 8.57% horse sera were found to be positive. This was the first report about the presence ofanti-A. phagocytophilum antibodies in horses in Turkey..

Özet

Equine granulocytic anaplasmosis’in etkeni olan Anaplasma phagocytophilum, atların dahil olduğu pek çok vahşi ve evcil memeliyi, yanı sıra insanları etkilemektedir. Türkiye’de A. phagocytophilum’un atlar hariç, sığırlar, koyunlar, köpekler, fareler, insanlar arasında sirküle olduğuna dair birçok çalışma mevcuttur. Bu çalışmada, A. phagocytophilum’un at populasyonu arasında mevcut olup olmadığını araştırmayı amaçladık. Bu amaçla, 105 dişi at kan seumu Anti- A. phagocytophilum IgG antikorlarının varlığını tespit etmek için IFAT ile incelendi. At kan serumlarının %8.57’si pozitif bulundu. Bu çalışma, atlarda anti-A. phagocytophilum antikorlarının varlığı ile ilgili ilk rapordur..
