About this document
Understanding Anaplasmosis in Cattle by Amon Jnr Kamungaranga is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Anaplasmosis is a vector-borne, infectious blood disease in cattle caused by Anaplasma parasites that infect red blood cells and cause anemia, fever, weight loss and other symptoms. It is usually spread by ticks. Treatment involves tetracycline antibiotics, though supportive care is also important. Preventive measures center on controlling insect vectors through herd treatment with oxytetracycline or use of chlortetracycline in feed. Vaccines are available in some areas.
