RESUMO
An indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed for the serological diagnosis of bovine anaplasmosis with purified recombinant major surface protein 5 (MSP5) of Anaplasma marginale produced in Escherichia coli. Serum antibody responses against MSP5 were detected in calves experimentally infected with A. marginale as early as 21 days postinfection and reached maximum titers at 28 days postinfection. The MSP5 ELISA performed with serum samples taken from field cattle from different regions of Venezuela showed a seroprevalence of 47%, which seems to be in accordance with the reported epidemiological status of bovine anaplasmosis in Venezuela. Positive results obtained in the MSP5 ELISA were further confirmed by immunoblotting, with the recombinant MSP5 as the antigen. Thus, these results confirmed the importance of MSP5 as a suitable antigen for the serological diagnosis of bovine anaplasmosis.
