Anaplasmosis, a tick-borne disease in dogs, caused by obligate intracellular pathogens, Anaplasma platys and Anaplasma phagocytophilum. Anaplasmosis is characterized by a variety of clinical symptoms including pyrexia as well as non-symptomatic thrombocytopenia. Advances in molecular techniques have enabled physicians and diagnosticians to use polymerase chain reaction for identification of theses pathogens in dogs. A total of 80 samples collected from the veterinary clinics in Bengaluru were considered for the study for screening Anaplasma platys and Anaplasma phagocytophilum by polymerase chain reaction. Seventeen out of eighty samples were positive for A. platys. Co-infection of A. platys with Babesia gibsoni and Ehrlichia canis was also reported in this study. Anaplasma platys positive samples were confirmed by sequencing and submitted to GenBank. No samples were found positive for Anaplasma phagocytophilum in the current study.
