DIAS CORDEIRO, Matheus et al. Anaplasma platys in dog and Rhipicephalus sanguineus in the city of Salta in Salta Province, Argentina. Rev Salud Anim. [online]. 2020, vol.42, n.3  Epub Dec 01, 2020. ISSN 2224-4700.

A dog with 32 specimens of Rhipicephalus sanguineus sensu lato were examined at the DNA level to determine the presence of Borrelia spp., Anaplasma platys, Ehrlichia spp., and Babesia spp. A partial sequence of A. platys gene gltA (689 bp) was detected in the dog’s blood and three ticks (9.37 %). This is the first detection of A. platys in a young dog with symptoms and an animal’s R. sanguineus s.l. ticks in the city of Salta in northwest Argentina.

Keywords : Anaplasma; hemoparasites ticks; Canis familiaris; Argentina.
