 note = {application/pdf, Bovine anaplasmosis caused by Anaplasma marginale represents a serious threat to cattle farming worldwide, especially in the tropics and subtropics. In the present study, archived DNA samples from the blood of cattle (n=437) in the Nuwara Eliya, Galle, Ampara, Polonnaruwa, and Jaffna districts and buffalo (n=327) in the Galle, Polonnaruwa, Mannar, and Mullaitivu districts in Sri Lanka, were screened for A. marginale using a major surface protein 5 (msp5) gene-based PCR assay. The findings showed that 32.7 and 57.5% of cattle and buffalo, respectively, were A. marginale-positive. The rate of positivity differed significantly among geographical regions. In conclusion, the high rates of A. marginale infection in cattle and buffalo highlight the importance of effective control measures in Sri Lanka.},
