This Parasite attacks the red blood cells after infection of sensitive bovine and is transmitted by ticks. Methodology: The study was aimed to detect Anaplasma marginale through PCR the prevalence of four genera (Rhipicephalus, Boophilus, Hyalomma, and Amblyomma) of ticks, twelve hundred animals were observed, 560 samples of blood randomly taken from cattle that possesses ticks on their body and these samples were shifted to the

They are considered as main vectors for transmission of rickettsial agents affecting animal and human health. The study was designed to investigate district wise pattern and detection of rickettsial agents by using molecular and conventional techniques in blood samples of infected cattles, buffalos, sheeps and goats. A survey study was carried out in lower Sindh (Tharparkar, Badin, Hyderabad, Karachi, Tando Muhammad khan, Thatta and Mirpurkhas). Blood samples were collected randomly from infected Cattles, buffalos, sheeps and goats and transported to the Molecular Parasitology laboratory, Sindh Agriculture University, Tandojam, followed by examinations under stereomicroscope and Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). The study showed that overall infection of Rickettsial agents among infected animals was recorded follwoing Microscopy/ Blood smear test in cattles, buffalos, sheeps and goats was 41.79, 49.09, 46 and 41.66% respectiv...
