Anaplasmosis found in Manitoba Cow Herd

Testing will continue after Anaplasmosis was discovered in two Manitoba cow herds.
Twenty-six animals tested positive and were ordered destroyed from a 418 head commerical and purebred herd situated in the eastern part of the province. Following testing of herds neighbouring the pasture where the disease was discovered, another 33 animals tested positive in one herd and the investigation continues.
This is the first time the disease has been confirmed in Manitoba since 1968. Because Anaplasmosis is a federally reportable disease, the producers involved will be compensated for the loss of their animals.


Background
Anaplasmosis is caused by a red blood cell parasite transmitted by ticks but also through management practices where blood contamination occurs (dehorning, castration, treatment using common needles). Cattle infected with Anaplasmosis remain infected for life, serving as a source of infection to other animals. Canada is considered free of Anaplasmosis which has been a federally reportable disease since December 17, 1969.
The disease has previously occurred 5 times in Canada - in Manitoba in 1968, Quebec in 1979, Saskatchewan in 1983, Ontario in 1996 and in a bison herd in Saskatchewan in 2000. Only the 1968 and 1983 events are considered outbreaks as in 1979, 1996 and 2000, spread did not occur beyond the index premises associated with imported cattle.
Recent 2007 consultation with stakeholders reaffirmed maintenance of the CFIA’s Anaplasmosis import restrictions and domestic policy which includes quarantine of infected herds and testing plus slaughter of infected animals. Herds in close proximity to the infected herd will also be tested. Trace-in herds and trace-out livestock from the infected premises will also be investigated and tested.
