Abstract
The genus Anaplasma (Rickettsiales: Anaplasmataceae) includes the tick-transmitted pathogensAnaplasma marginale, Anaplasma phagocytophilum and Anaplasma ovis that have an impact on veterinary and human health [1]. Anaplasma spp. are endemic in Sicily, where they constitute a veterinary and human health problem [2,3]. Sicily represents a typicalMediterranean ecosystem and offers a good scenario to study the prevalence of Anaplasma spp. in relation to the habitat suitability for ticks. The aimof this studywas to characterise the prevalence ofAnaplasma spp. in most abundant host species in Sicily and to correlate these data with the habitat suitability (HS) for ticks at the province level.
