Epidemiology of cattle anaplasmosis in Colombia: I. prevalence and distribution of agglutinating antibodies.
A survey to detect antibodies against Anaplasma marginale, using the Card Test, was conducted on serum samples collected from cattle of Cordoba Department and north-eastern region of the Department of Antioquia in the Republic of Colombia. The samples were from native cattle of Spanish descent (Bos taurus), Zebu (Bos indicus) and various Zebu-native crosses. The age range was between three and eight year olds. The results revealed that 90.3% of the samples were positive. All breeds showed a high prevalence of antibodies.
