The infected goat exhibited a localised ocular infection but showed no clinical signs of acute piroplasmid or\n                    <jats:italic>Anaplasma<\/jats:italic>\n                    infections. Microscopic examination of blood smears revealed low parasitemia of intra\u2010 and extraerythrocytic piroplasms and intragranulocytic morulae, consistent with chronic infection. PCR and sequence analysis confirmed that the\n                    <jats:italic>Babesia<\/jats:italic>\n                    species detected was\n                    <jats:italic>B. aktasi<\/jats:italic>\n                    , a recently described piroplasmid previously reported in domestic goats. Phylogenetic analysis placed the\n                    <jats:italic>B. aktasi<\/jats:italic>\n                    haplotype within the\n                    <jats:italic>Babesia<\/jats:italic>\n                    sensu stricto clade, closely related to sequences from domestic goats in T\u00fcrkiye and an uncharacterised\n                    <jats:italic>Babesia<\/jats:italic>\n                    sp. from a red deer. The\n                    <jats:italic>A. phagocytophilum<\/jats:italic>\n                    strain detected in this study belonged to ecotype 1, which includes human pathogenic strains. These findings raise the possibility that bezoar goats may contribute to the natural maintenance of\n                    <jats:italic>B. aktasi<\/jats:italic>\n                    and\n                    <jats:italic>A. phagocytophilum<\/jats:italic>\n                    , highlighting their potential involvement in the enzootic cycles of these pathogens alongside domestic caprinae. Given that bezoar goats are the ancestors of modern domestic goats and that their habitats overlap in Anatolia, further research is needed to better understand the transmission dynamics, vector associations and zoonotic potential of these pathogens.\n
