Anaplasmosis is a rickettsial infection with significant effects on human and animal health, and the discovery of
new species or genotypes with zoonotic potential in recent years has increased this importance. The aim of this
study was to provide the first assessment of the molecular etiology and prevalence of bovine anaplasmosis in
Kyrgyzstan (specifically in the Chuy, Talas, Djalal-Abad, Naryn, and Issyk-Kul regions). The prevalence of bovine
anaplasmosis was determined as 1.7% (6/358). PCR and partial DNA sequencing results of the 16S ribosomal
RNA (rRNA) gene revealed that Anaplasma centrale, A. phagocytophilum like-1, and the human pathogenic
novel genotype A. capra are circulating in cattle herds in Kyrgyzstan. Six DNA nucleotide sequences obtained in
this study were deposited in GenBank under the following accession numbers: A. centrale (MW672117,
MW672118, MW672119, MW672120), A. phagocytophilum (MW672121), and A. capra (MW672115).
