Anaplasma marginale can be transmitted, will grow and can survive in a large number of domestic and wild animals. It is pathogenic in cattle, and usually produces nonapparent or mild infections in other species. Anaplasma marginale has been recovered from cattle, sheep, goats, water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis), white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus), mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus hemionus), black-tailed deer (Odocoileus hemionus columbianus), pronghorn (Antilocapra americana americana), Rocky Mountain elk (Cervus elaphus nelsoni), bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis canadensis), black wildebeest (Connochaetes gnu), blesbuck (Damaliscus albifrons), and duiker (Sylvicapra grimmi grimmi). Unidentified anaplasms have been seen in, and in some instances isolated from, Cape buffalo (Syncerus caffer), giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis), wildebeest (Connochaetes taurinus), Cokes hartebeest (Alcelaphus buselaphus cokii), Thompson's gazelle (Gazella thompsonii), waterbuck (Kobus ellipsiprymnus), and sable antelope (Hippotragus niger), with serological evidence of Anaplasma infection in an even wider range of wild ruminant species. Anaplasma ovis, A. centrale, or other as yet unidentified anaplasms may well occur in other ruminants. With the exception of black-tailed deer, the epidemiologic significance of anaplasmosis in wildlife has yet to be determined. The only wild animal in which Anaplasma is reported to produce serious clinical disease is the giraffe.
边缘无形体可在大量家畜和野生动物中传播、生长并存活。它对牛具有致病性，而在其他物种中通常引发不明显或轻度感染。已从牛、绵羊、山羊、水牛（水牛属）、白尾鹿（弗吉尼亚白尾鹿）、骡鹿（北美西部骡鹿指名亚种）、黑尾鹿（北美西部骡鹿哥伦比亚亚种）、叉角羚（美洲叉角羚指名亚种）、落基山麋鹿（尼尔森麋鹿）、大角羊（加拿大盘羊指名亚种）、黑角马（白纹牛羚）、白脸牛羚（白脸牛羚指名亚种）和小羚羊（小羚羊指名亚种）中分离出边缘无形体。在非洲水牛（非洲野水牛）、长颈鹿（长颈鹿）、角马（黑尾角马）、科克氏转角牛羚（转角牛羚科克氏亚种）、汤氏瞪羚（汤氏瞪羚）、水羚（水羚）和貂羚（南非大羚羊）中发现了未鉴定的无形体，在某些情况下还从中分离出来，并且在更广泛的野生反刍动物物种中存在无形体感染的血清学证据。绵羊无形体、中央无形体或其他尚未鉴定的无形体很可能也存在于其他反刍动物中。除了黑尾鹿外，野生动物无形体病的流行病学意义尚未确定。据报道，无形体在其中会引发严重临床疾病的唯一野生动物是长颈鹿。
