Abstract

Anaplasma marginale, causative agent of bovine anaplasmosis, is the most prevalent tick-transmitted disease of cattle worldwide and a major obstacle to profitable beef production. Bovine anaplasmosis control strategies rely upon the use of vector control, vaccination, and tetracycline antimicrobials. This article reviews transmission as well as current and future directions for control.
