Abstract

Anaplasmosis may be expected to occur annually during the vector season in those states and areas where the disease is know to be endemic. Recovered animals remain as infected carriers and are a source of infection to others. The movement of carriers frequently causes serious disease outbreaks in areas where veterinarians and producers may not be familiar with the disease.
