Wildlife is involved in the maintenance and transmission of various tick-borne pathogens. The objective of the present study was to determine the occurrence and diversity of tick-borne pathogens in free-ranging wild animals collected from Tangjiahe National Nature Reserve of China. Blood or liver samples from 13 wild animals (5 takin, 3 Himalayan goral, 3 Reeves' muntjac, 1 forest musk deer, and 1 wild boar) were collected and screened for piroplasm,  Anaplasma  spp.,  Ehrlichia  spp., and spotted fever group (SFG) rickettsiae by PCR-based on different gene loci. Three  Theileria  species, a potential novel  Theileria  parasite ( Theileria  sp. T4) and two  Anaplasma  species were identified in those wildlife.  Theileria capreoli  was found in Himalayan goral, Reeves' muntjac, and forest musk deer;  Theileria luwenshuni, Theileria uilenbergi , and a potential novel,  Theileria  parasite ( Theileria  sp. T4), were identified in takin. Meanwhile,  Anaplasma bovis  was identified in Himalayan goral, takin, Reeves' muntjac, forest musk deer, and wild boar;  Anaplasma phagocytophilum  and related strains was found in takin, Reeves' muntjac, and forest musk deer. All wildlife included in this study was negative for  Babesia, Anaplasma ovis, Anaplasma marginale, Ehrlichia , and SFG rickettsiae. Moreover, coinfection involving  Theileria  spp. and  Anaplasma  spp. was observed in eight wild animals. This study provided the first evidence of tick-borne pathogens in free-ranging wild animals from the nature reserve, where contact between domestic and wild animals rarely occurs.
