Toxoplasmosis and anaplasmosis are severe zoonotic diseases, the former caused by  Toxoplasma gondii  and the latter by  Anaplasma  spp. In the present study, 332 goat blood samples were randomly collected from Chongqing Municipality, China to screen for  T. gondii  and  Anaplasma  spp. We used a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to detect DNA, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to test for  T. gondii  antibodies. The prevalence of  T. gondii  and  Anaplasma  spp. was 38% and 35% respectively by PCR, and 42% for  T. gondii  antibodies by ELISA. The co-infection rate by  T. gondii  and  Anaplasma  was 13%, where the two predominant pathogens co-infecting were  Anaplasma phagocytophilum  +  A. bovis  (10%), followed by  T. gondii  +  A. phagocytophilum  (9.64%). While co-infection by three pathogens varied ranging from 1.81% to 5.72%, less than 1% of goats were found to be positive for four pathogens. This is the first investigation of  T. gondii  and  Anaplasma  spp. infection in goats from Chongqing.
