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,

A molecular study of hemotropic mycoplasmas (hemoplasmas) in cats in Iran [PDF]

Veterinary Clinical Pathology, 2014
BackgroundThree feline hemoplasma species are recognized: Mycoplasma haemofelis, ‘Candidatus Mycoplasma haemominutum’, and ‘Candidatus Mycoplasma turicensis’. These species can cause anemia in cats and have a worldwide distribution.ObjectivesThere was no previous information on hemotropic mycoplasma spp in cats in Iran and the Middle East. Accordingly,

Absence of Host-Specific Hemotropic Mycoplasmas in Horses and Donkeys from Croatia: First Systematic Survey in Southeastern Europe [PDF]

Animals
Hemotropic mycoplasmas (hemoplasmas) are uncultivable, cell wall-less bacteria that parasitizeon the surface of red blood cells of mammals, potentially causing anemia and other systemic signs.

Molecular Survey of Hemopathogens in Bats from the Western Brazilian Amazon [PDF]

Pathogens
Bats are considered reservoirs of several emerging zoonotic pathogens. Previous studies on blood parasites such as Anaplasmataceae, hemoplasmas, piroplasmids, and Hepatozoon spp. in South American bats have revealed high genetic diversity.

Geographically widespread and novel hemotropic mycoplasmas and bartonellae in Mexican free-tailed bats and sympatric North American bat species [PDF]

mSphere
Bacterial pathogens remain poorly characterized in bats, especially in North America. We describe novel (and in some cases panmictic) hemoplasmas (10.1% positivity) and bartonellae (25.6% positivity) across three colonies of Mexican free-tailed bats ...

Apparent prevalence of transplacental transmission of hemotropic mycoplasmas in Holstein dairy calves [PDF]

JDS Communications
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 ...

A review of the occurrence of hemoplasmas (hemotrophic mycoplasmas) in Brazil Uma revisão da ocorrência dos hemoplasmas (micoplasmas hemotróficos) no Brasil

Revista Brasileira de Parasitologia Veterinária, 2009
Recent studies have been conducted in Brazil using molecular techniques for the detection of hemotrophic mycoplasmas in several mammals. In domestic cats, Mycoplasma haemofelis, 'Candidatus M. haemominutum', and 'Candidatus M. turicensis' infections have
