摘要
Tick-borne pathogens of the genus Anaplasma cause anaplasmosis in livestock and humans, impacting health and livelihoods, particularly in Africa. A comprehensive review on the epidemiology of Anaplasma species is important to guide further research and for implementation of control approaches. We reviewed observational studies concerning Anaplasma species amongst cattle in Africa. Peer-reviewed studies published in PubMed, Google Scholar, and Web of Science- from database inception to 2022- were searched. The quality of individual studies was assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal Tool and the pooled prevalences by diagnostic method were estimated using random-effects models. Heterogeneity across the studies was tested and quantified using the Cochran ' s Q statistic and the I 2 statistic. Potential sources of heterogeneity were investigated by subgroup analysis. A total of 1117 records were retrieved and at the end of the screening, 149 records (155 studies) were eligible for this meta-analysis. The occurrence of Anaplasma species was reported in 31/54 countries in all regions. Seven recognised species ( A . marginale , A . centrale , A . phagocytophilum , A . platys , A . capra , A . bovis , A . ovis ) and nine uncharacterised genotypes ( Anaplasma sp. Hadesa; Anaplasma sp. Saso; Anaplasma sp. Dedessa; Anaplasma sp. Mymensingh; Anaplasma sp. Lambwe-1; Candidatus Anaplasma africae; Anaplasma sp.; Candidatus Anaplasma boleense) were reported in African cattle. Anaplasma marginale was the most frequently reported (n =144/155 studies) and the most prevalent species (serology methods 56.1%, 45.9 - 66.1; direct detection methods 19.9%, 15.4 - 24.7), followed by A . centrale (n =26 studies) with a prevalence of 8.0% (95% CI: 4.8 - 11.9) and A . platys (n =19 studies) with prevalence of 9.7% (95% CI: 5.4 - 15.2). Anaplasma marginale, A . centrale and A . platys were reported in all Africa ' s regions, while A . ovis and A . capra were reported only in the northern and central regions. The uncharacterised Anaplasma taxa were mostly detected in the eastern and southern regions. Subgroup analysis showed that significant determinants for A . marginale exposure (serology) were geographical region ( p =0.0219), and longitude ( p =0.0336), while the technique employed influenced ( p < 0.0001) prevalence in direct detection approaches. Temperature was the only significant variable ( p =0.0269) for A . centrale . These findings show that various Anaplasma species, including those that are zoonotic, circulate in African cattle. There is need for more genetic and genome data, especially for unrecognised species, to facilitate effective identification, improve livestock and minimise the health risk in human populations. Additional epidemiological data including pathogen occurrence, tick vectors and host range, as well as pathogenicity are essential.
