%X Tick-borne diseases currently represent an important issue for global health. A number of emerging tick-transmitted microbes continue to be discovered, and some of these are already identified as the cause of human infections. Over the past two decades, Anaplasma phagocytophilum is considered to be mainly responsible for human anaplasmosis. However, a novel zoonotic pathogen provisionally named ˇ°Anaplasma capraˇ± has recently been identified in China. In this study, we did an active surveillance of A. capra in goats and sheep in different geographical regions of China
