[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1594934, member: 12607"] No. The unborn calf won't die of anaplasmosis... but may be aborted because the cow is anemic to the point of the calf dying in utero of hypoxia. [u]IF[/u] anaplasmosis is the proper diagnosis... the cow will be clinically ill or dead within just a few days. If the cow is normal and continues to be... anaplasmosis was not the cause of abortion. Several years back, I did full diagnostic workups on some near-term ET calves that were aborted. Found nothing in the way of infectious or toxic causes... but when the cows that aborted started dying 3 or 4 days later... we found the cause. Anaplasmosis. Persistently-infected, non-clinically-affected anaplasmosis cows will have either been infected as young calves or survived (with our without treatment) a clinical case of anaplasmosis. These animals will not become clinically ill (and would not abort), but can serve as a source of infection for other animals in the herd, mainly via ticks feeding on them and then transmitting the Anaplasma organism to other cattle during subsequent feeding.
