Serological evidence of <i>Anaplasma</i> spp. antibodies in domestic ruminants in Slovakia
The study additionally identified regional variations, indicating that environmental conditions, vector ecology, and animal management practices, play a role in the transmission of <i>Anaplasma</i> spp. These findings emphasise the need for targeted strategies for the prevention and control of anaplasmosis, tailored to specific species and regions, to reduce its economic and health impacts on livestock. The results contribute to the growing body of knowledge on Anaplasma epidemiology, highlighting the importance of ongoing surveillance to manage its effects. Given the zoonotic potential of anaplasmosis, it is important to analyse the results obtained also from the One Health perspective.
