ABSTRACT
Following the accidental finding of inclusion bodies similar to Anaplasma platys in a stained blood smear from a cat, DNA analysis of the 16S rRNA gene was performed and 100 percent identity was found with different strains of A. platys. These data confirm that cats are susceptible to parasitism by A. platys.
