Anaplasmosis is caused by a parasite called, Anaplasma marginale. It invades and multiplies in red blood cells. Ticks are biological vectors of A. marginale and spread of the disease is most likely to occur through infected tick bites. Animals sick with Anaplasmosis may have a fever, and be off feed, depressed, dehydrated, show rapid or difficult breathing and have anemia.
