  abstract = {{A}naplasma platys is the causative agent of infectious cyclic thrombocytopenia in dogs. {T}his infection is worldwide and reported with a higher incidence in tropical and subtropical areas such as {S}outh {A}merica. {U}ntil now, there has been no report of this bacterium in {F}rench {G}uiana. {T}he aim of this study was molecular investigation of {A}. platys occurrence in the blood of autochthonous dogs in this region. {A} total 65 blood samples were taken from the shelter dogs in the cities of {C}ayenne and {K}ourou, and from dogs of private owners in the city of {C}ayenne. {T}he results show that at least 15.38% (10/65) were positive to this pathogen. {T}he strain identified in this study has been reported worldwide. {T}hese findings should be considered in the way that local veterinarians handle suspected cases of canine anaplasmosis and ehrlichiosis.},
