Sheep blood samples were examined only using molecular method. By polymerase chain reaction (PCR), 13 (65%), 3 (15%), and one samples (5%) were to be infected by Anaplasma ovis, Theileria ovis, and Mycoplasma species, respectively. One sample from each positive target PCR was sequenced, successfully.
