Prevalence of Anaplasma phagocytophilum, Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato, Rickettsia spp. and Babesia spp. in cattle serum and questing ticks from Belgium Open
The seroprevalence data in cattle indicate hot spots for tick-borne pathogens in specific provinces and highlights the importance of veterinary surveillance in anticipating the emergence of diseases among humans. The detection of all patho…

Detection of <i>Anaplasma phagocytophilum</i> in fetal and placental tissue of bovine abortions and perinatal mortalities Open
Background Anaplasma phagocytophilum is a tick‐borne zoonotic bacterium that is the aetiologic pathogen of tick‐borne fever (TBF) in ruminants. In clinical bovine cases of TBF, abortion and stillbirth may be observed. However, in this rega…
