  abstract = {{T}he authors studied the role of bacteria belonging to {A}naplasmataceae family as the causes of acute illnesses of sheep in {W}est {A}frica. {W}e examined and sampled 120 febrile sheep in two regions of {S}enegal for this study. {T}he {DNA} extracted from these blood samples was tested by {PCR} using two pairs of primers (gro{EL}-based and 16{S} r{RNA} gene-based). {I}n 52/120 samples, the microscopic examination revealed intraerythrocytic and/or intraphagocytic spherical inclusions. {I}n 48/52 cases, we succeeded in identifying the bacterial agent: in 38 cases, it was {A}naplasma ovis; in six cases, it was {E}hrlichia ruminantium; in two cases, {A}naplasma phagocytophilum; in one case, {A}naplasma platys; and in one case, a yet uncultured {A}naplasma sp. closely related to {A}. phagocytophilum. {O}ur studies demonstrated the great variety of pathogenic bacteria from the {A}naplasmataceae family in the blood of clinically ill sheep. {A}. ovis was identified unexpectedly often. {F}or the first time, {A}. phagocytophilum was found in sub-{S}aharan {A}frica, and its further epidemiology may be now reconsidered. {T}he roles of canine pathogen, {A}. platys, and yet undescribed {A}naplasma sp. "{B}adiour," in ovine pathology should be more closely studied.},
