Prevalence and Risk Factor Analysis of Feline Blood-Borne Pathogens in Bangkok and Vicinities, Thailand. [PDF]

Vet Med Int
Feline blood‐borne pathogens are important infectious agents of cats that can cause subclinical to severe disease. Awareness of the risks associated with transfusing contaminated blood can reduce morbidity in recipients. Understanding the prevalence and risk factors of these infections is crucial for identifying pathogens that should be screened in ...

Hemoplasmas and ticks in cattle from Somalia

Acta Tropica, 2022
Hemotropic mycoplasmas (hemoplasmas) are small Gram-negative bacteria that parasitize red blood cells and can cause mild to severe anemia in a wide range of vertebrates, including ruminants. Cattle population in Somalia is around 3.9 million heads, with animals more concentrated around the river areas, mainly in the Juba River and Shabelle River ...

Hemotropic Mycoplasma spp. in Aquatic Mammals, Amazon Basin, Brazil

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2022
Hemotropic Mycoplasma spp. (hemoplasmas) are uncultivable bacteria that infect mammals, including humans. We detected a potentially novel hemoplasma species in blood samples from wild river dolphins in the Amazon River Basin, Brazil.

Hemotropic mycoplasmas in bats from forest fragments, state of Paraná, southern Brazil

Semina: Ciências Agrárias, 2022
The order Chiroptera is the second largest group of mammals with bats being identified as reservoir of several viral zoonoses, although, little is known about their role in other groups of pathogens, including hemotropic Mycoplasma spp.

Genetic characterization and risk factors for feline hemoplasma infection in semi-domesticated cats in Bangkok, Thailand [PDF]

Veterinary World, 2020
Background and Aim: Stray cats are a reservoir for various zoonotic diseases relevant to public health in Thailand. The vector-borne infection, hemoplasmosis, also known as infectious anemia, is one such disease carried by domestic and wild felids.

Detection and genetic characterization of "Candidatus Mycoplasma haemomacaque" infection among long-tailed macaques (Macaca fascicularis) in Thailand using broad-range nested polymerase chain reaction assay [PDF]

Veterinary World, 2021
Background and Aim: Hemoplasmas are defined as small, epicellular parasitic bacteria that can infect the red blood cells of several mammalian species. Diseases caused by these bacteria range from asymptomatic infections to acute hemolytic anemia. However,

An Update of Bovine Hemoplasmas Based on Phylogenetic and Genomics Analysis

Microorganisms, 2022
Mycoplasma wenyonii and ‘Candidatus Mycoplasma haemobos’ are bacteria that have been described as significant hemoplasmas that infect cattle worldwide. Currently, three bovine hemoplasma genomes are known. This work aimed to describe the main genomic characteristics and the evolutionary relationships between hemoplasmas, and provide a list of epitopes ...

Phylogenetic Analysis of Hemoplasma Species: an International Study [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2003
ABSTRACT Nearly complete 16S rRNA gene sequences for feline and canine hemoplasma isolates from Europe, Australia, Africa, and Asia showed almost 100% identity to those previously reported for United States isolates. Partial sequences of the RNA subunit of the RNase P gene were also determined, and RNase P-based phylogenetic ...
