  abstract = {{T}he genus {A}naplasma ({A}naplasmataceae, {R}ickettsiales) includes tick-transmitted bacterial species of importance to both veterinary and human medicine. {A}part from the traditionally recognized six {A}naplasma species ({A}. phagocytophilum, {A}. platys, {A}. bovis, {A}. ovis, {A}. centrale, {A}. marginale), novel strains and candidate species, also of relevance to veterinary and human medicine, are emerging worldwide. {A}lthough species related to the zoonotic {A}. platys and {A}. phagocytophilum have been reported in several {A}frican and {E}uropean {M}editerranean countries, data on the presence of these species in sub-{S}aharan countries are still lacking. {T}his manuscript reports the investigation of {A}naplasma strains related to zoonotic species in ruminants in {S}enegal by combining different molecular tests and phylogenetic approaches. {T}he results demonstrated a recent introduction of {C}andidatus ({C}a) {A}naplasma turritanum, a species related to the pathogenic {A}. platys, possibly originating by founder effect. {F}urther, novel undetected strains related to {C}andidatus ({C}a) {A}naplasma cinensis were detected in cattle. {B}ased on gro{EL} and glt{A} molecular comparisons, we propose including these latter strains into the {C}andidatus ({C}a) {A}naplasma africanum species. {F}inally, we also report the emergence of {C}andidatus ({C}a) {A}. boleense in {S}enegal. {C}ollectively, results confirm that {A}naplasma species diversity is greater than expected and should be further investigated, and that {A}naplasma routine diagnostic procedures and epidemiological surveillance should take into account specificity issues raised by the presence of these novel strains, suggesting the use of a {O}ne {H}ealth approach for the management of {A}naplasmataceae in sub-{S}aharan {A}frica.},
