Molecular Detection and Characterization of Hemotropic Mycoplasma in Assamese Macaques (Macaca assamensis) of Northern Thailand [PDF]

Veterinary Medicine International
Hemotropic mycoplasmas, also known as hemoplasmas, are parasitic bacteria that infect red blood cells, potentially leading to varying degrees of anemia across numerous mammalian species, including nonhuman primates.

First molecular evidence of bovine hemoplasmas in houseflies (Musca domestica) [PDF]

BMC Veterinary Research
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.

Hemoplasma infection in wild captive carnivores [PDF]

Pesquisa Veterinária Brasileira, 2020
: Hemoplasmas are bacteria able to adhere themselves loosely to the plasma membrane of erythrocytes and may parasitize several species of mammals. There are three known species of hemoplasmas that parasitize domestic and wild cats: Mycoplasma haemofelis,

Hemoplasma prevalence and hematological abnormalities associated with infection in three different cat populations from Southern Brazil

Revista Brasileira de Parasitologia Veterinária, 2014
Three hemoplasma species are recognized in domestic cats: Mycoplasma haemofelis, ‘Candidatus Mycoplasma haemominutum’ and ‘Candidatus Mycoplasma turicensis’. We report the prevalence and hematological abnormalities of hemoplasma infection in 369 domestic

Hemoplasma Infection in HIV-positive Patient, Brazil

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2008
Hemotrophic mycoplasmas infect a variety of mammals. Although infection in humans is rarely reported, an association with an immunocompromised state has been suggested. We report a case of a Mycoplasma haemofelis–like infection in an HIV-positive patient

Molecular characterization and phylogenetic analysis of hemotropic Mycoplasma in cats in fars province, Iran, and its association with blood groups and hematological alterations [PDF]

BMC Veterinary Research
Blood group antigens are considered to be potential determinants influencing host susceptibility to infectious agents, possibly functioning as cellular receptors that may facilitate bacterial, viral, and protozoal attachment—including Mycoplasma species.
