  abstract = {{A}naplasmosis due to {A}naplasma ovis ({A} ovis) is an infection spread in small ruminants mostly in the tropical and subtropical region. {T}his neglected disease which often induces a subclinical infection can be severe in case of co-infection with other pathogens. {I}n the {R}epublic of {N}iger, small ruminant breeding contributes for a large extent to the national economy; however, little is known about pathogens that infect sheep in this region. {I}n the present study, 33 sheep blood samples were collected near the village of {M}adama in the north of the country. {M}olecular analysis for the investigation of the presence of {A}naplasmataceae species infection was conducted targeting three genes, the 23{S} r{RNA}, 16{S} r{RNA} and the rpo{B} genes. {R}esults showed that 23/33 (69.7%) of the sheep were infected by {A}. ovis. {T}his result is the first molecular description of {A}. ovis in {N}iger.},
