Abstract
A 5-year-old female cat was presented at Kamphaengsaen Animal Hospital for a complication of jaundice. Haematology revealed mild non-regenerative anaemia, lymphopenia, thrombocytopenia, hyper-proteinaemia and icteric plasma. The inclusion bodies in the platelets were detected in a stained blood smear. Partial sequences of the 16S rRNA gene from the isolate indicated that it had the closest relation to Anaplasma platys sequences from many dogs in Thailand and those obtained from GenBank. This is the first report of Anaplasma platys in a naturally infected domestic cat from Thailand.
