Bovine anaplasmosis is endemic and occurs in almost all areas of livestock production of
Costa Rica. The aim of this study was to determine the seroprevalence and risk factors of
anaplasmosis in dairy farms of Costa Rica by the recombinant truncated MSP-5 (rMSP-5)
enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Serum samples were obtained from 733
cattle from 20 commercial dairy herds of Costa Rica. The overall seroprevalence was 37.2%
and herd seroprevalence ranged from 20.0 to 72.0%. The age-specific seroprevalence was …
