Abstract

Abstract: [Objective] To investigate tick species parasitizing sheep and the infection status of Anaplasma carried by ticks in parts of southern Xinjiang. [Methods] A total of 145 ticks were collected from sheep in Pishan, Minfeng, Hetian, Kalpin, Lop, and Awati counties in Southern Xinjiang. Tick species in these sites were identified using morphological and molecular biological methods. Based on the 16S rRNA and MSP4 gene loci of Anaplasma, PCR method was employed to detect Anaplasma infection in ticks. Infected Anaplasma species were identified by sequence alignment, and phylogenetic trees were constructed using MEGA 11.0 software for genetic evolutionary analysis. [Results] A total of five tick species belonging to three genera were identified: Hyalomma asiaticum （n=51）, Hyalomma anatolicum （n=4）, Rhipicephalus turanicus （n=75）, Dermacentor pavlovskyi （n=14）, and Dermacentor nuttalli （n=1）. The overall Anaplasma-positive rate in ticks was 28.28% （41/145）. Two Anaplasma species were detected, namely Anaplasma phagocytophilum and Anaplasma ovis, with positive rates of 12.41% （18/145） and 15.86% （23/145）, respectively; the co-infection rate with both Anaplasma species was 0.69% （1/145）. Phylogenetic analysis showed that the Anaplasma sequences obtained in this study had high homology with known Anaplasma sequences and did not form isolated genetic characteristics. [Conclusion] The dominant tick species in parts of southern Xinjiang are R. turanicus and H. asiaticum, and the Anaplasma carriage rate in ticks in this region is relatively high. These results provide data support for the prevention and treatment of tick-borne anaplasmosis in parts of southern Xinjiang.
