Effect of Chronic Hemoplasma Infection on Cattle Productivity

open access: yesJournal of Veterinary Medical Science, 2013
The present study evaluated the effect of hemoplasmosis on cattle productivity. Prevalence of bovine hemoplasma was examined by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using whole blood samples collected from 93 breeding cows and their 71 calves in Hokkaido, Japan.

Prevalence of Hemoplasma Infection among Cattle in the Western Part of Japan

open access: yesJournal of Veterinary Medical Science, 2011
We have examined for hemoplasma infection among cattle in the Hiroshima and Miyazaki prefectures by using a sensitive real-time PCR, with SYBR Green I and with melting curve analysis, which allow to distinguish the two bovine hemoplasma species, Mycoplasma wenyonii and 'Candidatus M. haemobos'.

Hemoplasmas in Wild Canids and Felids in Brazil

Journal of Zoo and Wildlife Medicine, 2011
Hemotropic mycoplasmas, epicellular erythrocytic bacterial parasites lacking a cell wall, are the causative agents of infectious anemia in numerous mammalian species. The presence of hemotropic mycoplasmas in blood samples of neotropical and exotic wild canids and felids from Brazilian zoos were recorded using molecular techniques.

From Haemobartonella to hemoplasma: Molecular methods provide new insights

Veterinary Microbiology, 2007
Hemotropic mycoplasmas (aka hemoplasmas) are the causative agents of infectious anemia in numerous mammalian species. Originally known as Haemobartonella and Eperythrozoon species, these organisms have been reclassified within the genus Mycoplasma. The development of new molecular assays has expanded our knowledge of this heterogeneous group of agents ...

Worldwide Occurrence of Feline Hemoplasma Infections in Wild Felid Species [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Microbiology, 2007
ABSTRACTWhile hemoplasma infections in domestic cats are well studied, almost no information is available on their occurrence in wild felids. The aims of the present study were to investigate wild felid species as possible reservoirs of feline hemoplasmas and the molecular characterization of the hemoplasma isolates.

A Novel Hemotropic Mycoplasma (Hemoplasma) in a Patient With Hemolytic Anemia and Pyrexia [PDF]

open access: yesClinical Infectious Diseases, 2011
A patient with chronic moderate neutropenia, acute hemolysis, and pyrexia was found to be infected with a novel hemoplasma species. A clinical response to doxycyline was noted, and moxifloxacin was added subsequently to aid infection clearance. This represents the first report of hemolysis in association with confirmed hemoplasma infection in a human.

A Feline Hemoplasma, 'Candidatus Mycoplasma haemominutum', Detected in Dog in Japan

open access: yesJournal of Veterinary Medical Science, 2011
We examined for 'Candidatus Mycoplasma haemominutum' infection in 167 blood samples collected from domestic dogs between 2008 and 2009 in the Tohoku area, Japan, and found 5 (3.0%) were positive by PCR assay. This is the first demonstration of 'Candidatus Mycoplasma haemominutum', a feline haemotropic mycoplasma, in the dogs raised in Japan.

A molecular survey of hemoplasmas in domestic dogs from Turkey

Veterinary Microbiology, 2018
Mycoplasma haemocanis (Mhc) and Candidatus Mycoplasma haematoparvum (CMhp) are cell-wall-deficient bacterial pathogens that localize on the vertebrate erythrocyte surface. Prevalence of infection with these hemoplasmas and associated risks factors were ascertained from archived DNA samples collected from 621 domestic dogs (201 strays, 262 from shelters,

Development of a novel triplex-PCR assay for the identification of feline hemoplasma species and survey of hemoplasma species in cats in Türkiye

Parasitology International
Three hemoplasma species, Mycoplasma haemofelis, Candidatus Mycoplasma haemominutum, and Candidatus Mycoplasma turicensis, have been identified in domestic and wild felids. M. haemofelis may cause severe clinical manifestations in domestic cats, whereas others can lead to mild infections.

Identification, occurrence and clinical findings of canine hemoplasmas in southern Brazil

Comparative Immunology, Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, 2014
Hemoplasmas are ubiquitous pleomorphic and epicellular bacteria detected in erythrocytes in several species. In Brazil, studies on hemoplasmas have not included information on occurrence, clinical signs, and risk factors in dogs. This paper investigates the occurrence of hemoplasmas in dogs, focusing on risk factors and clinical status.
