<b>Molecular detection of <i>Anaplasma</i> and <i>Candidatus Rickettsia jingxinensis</i> infections in domestic cattle and goats in Dejiang County, Guizhou Province, China</b>
Anaplasmosis is highly prevalent in local ruminants, particularly in goats. The pathogen species distribution differs between hosts, with <i>A. marginale</i> showing host specificity for cattle. The detection of <i>Ca. R. jingxinensis</i> in cattle suggests an expansion of its host range. These findings highlight the need for enhanced surveillance and control measures for these pathogens, especially considering the potential spillover risks and public health threat.
