First Molecular Detection and Characterization of Hemotropic Mycoplasma Species in Cattle and Goats from Uganda [PDF]
Hemoplasmas (hemotropic mycoplasmas) are small pleomorphic bacteria that parasitize the surface of red blood cells of several mammalian species including cattle, goats, and humans, causing infectious anemia.

The intergenic spacer region between the 16S and 23S rRNA genes of mycoplasmas has been used for a genetic marker for identification of the species. Here we show the intergenic spacer regions of two hemotropic mycoplasmas, Mycoplasma haemofelis and 'Candidatus Mycoplasma haemobos (synonym: 'C. M. haemobovis')' are also useful for classification of this

First molecular evidence of bovine hemoplasmas in houseflies (Musca domestica) [PDF]
Background Hemoplasma infections in cattle are caused by Mycoplasma wenyonii and Candidatus Mycoplasma haemobos and induce asymptomatic or chronic infections but occasionally lead to life-threatening hemolytic anemia.

Molecular investigation of “ Candidatus Mycoplasma haemobos ” in goats and sheep in central China [PDF]
Hemoplasma "Candidatus Mycoplasma haemobos" infections in cattle have been reported in East Asia, Europe, and South America, whereas same cases were documented in buffalo and cattle in Southern China. From April 2018 to May 2018, a mycoplasma epidemic was reported in the mountainous area of central China; Boophilus microplus has also been documented ...

Apparent prevalence of transplacental transmission of hemotropic mycoplasmas in Holstein dairy calves [PDF]
Hemotropic mycoplasmas are unculturable bacteria that infect the surface of red blood cells of several mammalian species including cattle. The importance of hemoplasmas in cattle remains unclear and limited information is available about biological ...

Hemotropic pathogens in aborted fetuses of domestic ruminants: transplacental transmission and implications for reproductive loss [PDF]
ObjectiveHemotropic pathogens of the genera Anaplasma, Babesia, Theileria, and hemotropic Mycoplasma are significant infectious agents in domestic ruminants, most commonly associated with vector-borne transmission.

Diagnostic Accuracy of Blood Cytology and Conventional PCR Using Universal Primers for Detecting Haemoplasma Infection in Cats and Pigs of Thailand. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background Haemoplasma (haemotropic Mycoplasma sp.) is an aetiological agent of infectious anaemia in several mammals, including cats and pigs. Blood cytology lacks sensitivity for detecting this infection, and information regarding its accuracy in Thailand is lacking. Thus, PCR has emerged as the test of choice.

Mycoplasma wenyonii (fmr. Eperythrozoon wenyonii) is a hemotrophic, epicellular bacterial parasite of cattle and is associated with clinical disorders including hemolytic anemia, decreased milk yield, and scrotal, teat, and hindlimb edema. M. wenyonii and related organism, Candidatus Mycoplasma haemobos have been found in apparently healthy cattle in ...
